Therapy is a way to solve behavioural, emotional and relationship problems. Therapy helps children, adolescents, couples and families to live happier and healthier lives. Therapy sessions refer to structured meetings between a licensed therapist and a patient with the aim of improving certain aspects of their life. The therapist can deal with a wide range of issues, from everyday problems to those requiring more specialised treatment. Going to therapy does not at all mean that a person is crazy or has lost their mind. It means that they are reasonable enough to understand that they can start a new life and deal with stress. There are several types of therapy, including cognitive behavioural therapy, couple and family therapy and expressive therapy.

I have spoken witha few counsellors, psychologists in my time. But Kelly is amazing. She’s so relatable and kind. You can feel her warmth really radiate as soon as you talk to her. I felt like I’d known her for years the first time talking to her, and that was via zoom as well. When lockdown is over I can’t wait to get in there and talk face to face. She’s amazing, beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend
