Kelly Dynes, BACP

Kelly Dynes chose counselling because she is drawn to helping people and building connections based on trust and respect. She listens attentively and combines honest feedback with empathy and sensitivity, believing that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. Her practice is grounded in a collaborative approach that aims to create a safe, respectful partnership where each person’s experience is heard and valued.

Kelly has extensive experience supporting people who have experienced trauma, bereavement, anxiety, and depression. She focuses on understanding each person’s story and tailoring her approach so clients feel supported while exploring difficult emotions and life events.

As a woman who uses a wheelchair, Kelly brings lived experience of disability to her work and can offer first-hand insight into the mental health impacts of living with disability or caring for someone who does. She recognises that disability is not only physical and has training and experience working with clients who are neurodivergent. Committed to inclusion, Kelly is learning British Sign Language and aims to incorporate it into her practice within the next 12 months.

Kelly holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her professional affiliation with the national counselling body.
