About Kelly
Kelly Kelbrick is an ACA counsellor who supports adults struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem issues and ADHD. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed and helps them build practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. Kelly speaks English and Afrikaans and practices in Australia.
Kelly uses a warm and collaborative approach in sessions. She helps people identify what is causing pressure and then tries small, manageable changes that fit each person’s life. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills to manage strong emotions and ways to restore routine after difficult experiences.
Her background includes work in suicide intervention, sub-acute mental health services and private practice supporting varied mental health needs. That experience informs how she supports people through recovery, transitions and ongoing challenges. Kelly brings three years of professional experience to her counselling work.
Kelly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with trauma, anxiety and emotional regulation. She aims to be neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-aware, creating space for people to name what feels hard and practise new responses. The pace of work is set by the client and can range from short-term goal work to longer-term healing.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kelly draws from evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and mindful awareness to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is observed.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people join from different locations within Australia and help maintain continuity of care during life changes. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can guide the choice of approach to suit each person's situation.
