About Kellie

Kellie Giunta is a BACP-accredited counsellor with 12 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. Kellie also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain and wider life changes.

She runs private practice alongside helping to co-manage a charity-based therapy centre that provides affordable support. That experience means she is used to working with practical limits on time and money, and with a wide variety of life circumstances. Kellie describes her work as person-centred and trauma-aware, which guides how she listens and plans sessions.

Her approach uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She combines this with attachment-based ideas and person-centred listening to balance structured tools with emotional exploration. Sessions focus on simple, concrete steps people can try between meetings.

Kellie offers clinical supervision to other practitioners and continues professional development to keep her practice current. Her background includes supporting people through loss, complex trauma, anxiety and issues linked to family and caregiving. She aims to help people find clarity and practical ways forward.

People who come to Kellie can expect steady, readable explanations of options and time to explore what matters most to them. To begin she asks people to outline their main concerns and goals so sessions can focus on manageable first steps.

Using CBT and attachment ideas in online work

Online work with Kellie draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based thinking. CBT is practical and looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It suits people who want clear steps to try between sessions and ways to test whether different responses help. Attachment-based approaches focus on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current reactions; these ideas help with relationship strain and sense of safety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kellie will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then decide together what to try first. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins so the focus can change if something is not working.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work and family demands and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to meet from different locations. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for scheduling and for how sessions run.
