About Kelly
Kelly Ready is an AASW social worker with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, and supports those coping with grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Kelly also works with people facing parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Kelly keeps conversations down to earth and practical. She listens first, then makes a plan that fits each person’s life. As a parent of three, she understands how busy life can be and aims to offer realistic strategies that can be used between sessions.
Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a warm, person-centred style. That means clients set goals and Kelly helps build skills to reach them, step by step. She uses tools that suit the person rather than forcing a single method.
Kelly has worked across many settings over the past 15 years and brings that variety into her practice. She tailors sessions to each person’s needs and background, including people with adoption and foster care concerns or attachment-related questions.
People who come to Kelly can expect straightforward talk, practical exercises and a focus on what will help in day-to-day life. She supports change at your pace and helps track progress so goals feel achievable.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kelly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, choose what matters most, and take small actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk through goals and preferences with each person and help decide which methods are most useful. She adapts techniques to suit what the person needs and revisits the plan as things change.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity of care when schedules are tight. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt exercises and check-ins so online sessions are practical and goal-focused.
