Kelly Greenwood , BACP

Kelly Greenwood is a United Kingdom based integrative psychotherapist who works with people affected by addiction, trauma, stress, anxiety and related challenges. She brings three years of clinical experience to her practice and draws on evidence-informed methods combined with a strengths-based perspective to support long-term wellbeing. Kelly is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and is a practitioner member of Addiction Professionals, reflecting her professional engagement in the field.

Kelly holds a first-class undergraduate degree in Psychology, Psychotherapy, and Counselling from the University of Greater Manchester and a master’s degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling. Her clinical work integrates approaches such as the 12-Step Recovery Model and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with positive psychology principles, aiming to build resilience and sustainable recovery rather than focusing only on symptoms.

Specialising in addictions, trauma and sexual abuse, Kelly also supports people struggling with grief, self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, isolation, communication difficulties, and questions of life purpose. She has contributed to research on addiction and volunteers with a leading addiction organisation, which informs and deepens her practical knowledge.

Her manner is compassionate and evidence-informed, with an emphasis on collaboration and personalised care. Kelly seeks to create a supportive space where clients can increase self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support

Kelly Greenwood combines practical therapeutic methods with online delivery to meet clients where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and recovery-related challenges. The 12-Step Recovery Model offers a structure for people working through substance use concerns, providing peer-supported practices and strategies that many find helpful during recovery. A strengths-based approach rooted in positive psychology complements these methods by identifying personal resources and building resilience for longer-term wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works together with each person to explore goals, preferences and practical needs, adapting techniques over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single method.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and integrate therapy into daily life without added travel time.
