About Kellie
Kellie Giunta is a BACP-registered counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting strains and trauma-related issues. Her practice also notes support for LGBT concerns and a wide range of family matters.
She describes an approach that keeps the client central. Sessions are led by the person's needs and pace. Conversations aim to be unhurried and non-judgemental so people can talk through what feels heavy without being rushed.
In her background she has led and helped run a charity-based therapy centre focused on affordable, accessible support. She also works as a clinical supervisor for other practitioners. Those roles informed her practice in community settings and shaped how she supports people through complex stress and trauma.
Kellie combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is used to explore relationship patterns, worry and practical thinking habits. She uses structured tools when helpful and stays open to deeper emotional material when needed.
Practical work in sessions includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, developing coping strategies, and talking through family and parenting tensions. She also brings experience with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caring for someone with illness, and fatherhood issues. The focus is on clarity, steady support and workable approaches people can use between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Her practice draws on attachment-based thinking, client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change those patterns in everyday interactions. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening deeply and following what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety and manage mood.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Kellie will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their goals and preferences. That means sessions may blend longer conversations with short practical exercises, based on what the client needs.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as options are not listed here. Online work can make regular sessions easier to fit around home and work life. It can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let people pick sessions without travelling. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help maintain continuity of care and build steady progress over time.
