Kelly Greenwood, BACP

Kelly Greenwood offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or the aftermath of trauma. She introduces short, clear steps so a worried person can see how therapy might help. Kelly writes simply and listens closely to each person's story before suggesting a way forward.

Kelly uses evidence-based techniques alongside a strengths-based outlook from positive psychology. She draws on experience working in the addiction sector and on research into recovery. This background informs how she helps people address drug and alcohol problems and the knock-on effects those problems can have on mood and relationships.

Her work addresses practical areas such as managing cravings, rebuilding routines and improving day-to-day coping. She also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, feelings of emptiness or unresolved shame. The aim is to help people regain a sense of control and find clearer direction in life.

Kelly holds a first-class undergraduate degree in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling and a master's degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her clinical practice blends different approaches chosen to fit each person's needs.

Sessions focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Kelly encourages small, realistic changes and helps people build resilience over time. She offers a supportive space to talk through difficult experiences and plan concrete next steps.

Approaches that guide online support and recovery

Kelly draws on the 12-Step recovery model to help people understand patterns of addiction and connect to practical steps used in recovery communities. This approach can provide structure and peer-oriented tools for reducing substance use and staying engaged in recovery.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small, meaningful steps that match what matters most to the person.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands, then suggest techniques that fit. Together they adjust methods as the work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and a fuller sense of connection. Phone sessions or live chat can be useful on busy days or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and steady contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
