Kelsey Young , BACP, NCPS

Kelsey Young is an integrative counsellor with professional credentials that include BACP and NCPS. She brings a practical, human-centered approach to therapy, meeting people where they are and responding to each person as a unique individual rather than using a single prescribed method. Her work is informed by a range of therapeutic models, including existential perspectives, client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and attachment-focused ideas, allowing her to adapt to different needs and life circumstances.

Kelsey works with a wide spectrum of concerns such as grief, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, neurodivergence like ADHD and autism, and complex issues around intimacy and identity. She also supports people facing life transitions, parenting challenges, career uncertainty, and caregiver fatigue. Kelsey aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and clarify values and goals.

Her BACP credential indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS denotes a recognised professional counselling qualification. Kelsey combines evidence-informed techniques with empathic listening so clients can work through painful experiences and move toward more manageable, meaningful ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Kelsey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, focusing on patterns of relating that develop from early connections. This work can support people coping with abandonment, relationship difficulties, and attachment issues by exploring how past bonds shape present reactions.

Client-centered therapy is another cornerstone of her practice, offering a collaborative, empathetic space where the client’s own goals guide the process. This approach can be particularly useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating identity or career concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kelsey works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when needed to determine the best fit based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Kelsey is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, work, or while travelling, and allow the therapeutic work to fit into busy or changing lives.
