Kelsey Young
Compassionate, practical counselling for everyday challenges
About Kelsey
Kelsey Young offers calm, practical support for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn out. She meets clients with warmth and straightforward listening. Her approach aims to make everyday life more manageable, not to rush anyone or apply a one-size-fits-all fix.
Kelsey uses a mix of talking and practical tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress and burnout. She also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related worries, issues around sexuality and identity, and the challenges that come with parenting, career change or sleep problems.
Background and approach
She can help people thinking about addiction, mood differences like bipolar, and neurodivergent experiences such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Her background includes three years working as a counsellor and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.
Kelsey draws on approaches that suit the person in front of her rather than sticking to one method. In sessions she often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive-behavioural ideas and person-centred listening. She pays attention to attachment and life meaning, so conversations might move between practical steps and exploring values and relationships.
Kelsey aims to create straightforward, low-pressure sessions where people can speak honestly and try ways to feel better. She invites people to set the pace and focus on goals that matter in everyday life.

Sessions & fees
Therapy approaches and online sessions that fit daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when discomfort is present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, panic and sleep issues.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss which methods feel right and adapt them to the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client try things and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people arrange therapy around everyday life rather than the other way round.
