About Kelly
Kelly Kelbrick is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and ADHD. She uses a calm, collaborative style and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Kelly aims to make it easier to manage overwhelming feelings and improve everyday coping.
Kelly trained at postgraduate level in counselling and holds a Master of Counselling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her background includes work in suicide intervention and sub-acute mental health settings as well as private practice. This mix of settings informs a grounded, pragmatic approach to common and complex mental health concerns.
Her work with clients is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. Sessions tend to be collaborative - the person sets goals and Kelly helps map small, achievable steps towards them. She pays close attention to emotional regulation, self-esteem and strategies for managing ADHD-related challenges.
Kelly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills, reduce distress, and strengthen daily routines. She also supports adjustment through life transitions and recovery from emotional hurt. Adoption and foster care concerns are part of her broader focus areas and can be discussed in sessions as they relate to individual wellbeing.
People can expect straightforward language and practical tools in therapy. The pace is set by the client and emphasis is placed on usable strategies rather than jargon. Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans when needed.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Kelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and processing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving day-to-day routines; it is often used when feelings feel intense or hard to manage. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That partnership means techniques can be adjusted over time so the therapy feels relevant and useful. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life. It can reduce travel time and let people access support from different locations, though the biography does not list specific session formats; please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or regular weekly work that builds skills and routine.Areas of expertise
