Hello!

My name is Kelly

I'm a Mental Health and Addictions Practitioner, and the founder of Feeling for Healing. I combine over a decade of academic study and client practice to bring you a personalised and adaptive therapeutic experience.

I work with adolescents and adults wishing to enhance their emotional regulation, shift unhelpful thought and behavioural patterns, manage ADHD sympoms, reduce addiction, navigate change and distress, or generally improve their mental health and sense of wellbeing.
