About Kelsey Young
Kelsey Young is an integrative counsellor registered with the BACP and holding NCPS, bringing three years of clinical experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. Registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holding NCPS as an additional professional credential, she combines professional training with a straightforward, human approach to care. Kelsey believes in listening without judgment and offering steady support as people work through life’s difficult moments.
She does not follow a one-size-fits-all model; instead she adapts her work to each person’s situation, drawing on person-centred, existential, and cognitive-behavioural influences to match methods to needs. Kelsey supports people facing grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and a wide range of other concerns including intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and addiction. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, neurodivergence, codependency, and career or caregiver stress.
Kelsey aims to create a calm, practical space where progress can unfold at the client’s pace. She focuses on collaboration, honesty, and realistic steps toward coping and growth, helping people find strategies that fit their values and everyday lives.

Approaches that guide online therapy and personal change
Kelsey integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online work to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them and taking committed action toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people repair or reshape ways of relating, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s own insights and strengths guide the work, supporting issues like self-esteem and coping with life transitions.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kelsey works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or on the go. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow work to fit around daily life, and provide multiple ways to engage so people can choose what feels most comfortable for them.
