My name is Anita Kelly. I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, hold an accredited qualification in psychodynamic counselling and offer personalized therapy based in Hampshire. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I strive to provide a safe, effective counselling service, while adhering to BACP professional standards and code of ethics. 

My experience is grounded in my accrued learning from clients in clinical practice, which has taught me how genuinely to listen with both head and heart; to provide a humane and creative space for free thinking, drawing intuitively from life experience, see new possibilities and open up new perspectives. You can expect me to offer support and challenge – someone  to be alongside you as you encounter difficulties in your life or challenge you on your journey of personal growth. I can assist you in navigating through life, helping you understand how you operate in the world: what you like, what you would change, and why.

Through a highly individualized process my role as a therapist is to help you understand yourself, especially the unrecognized or unacknowledged aspects within you and your life; gain an insight into what might have happened which has caused you to feel unhappy, depressed or overwhelmed by unresolved conflicts, or unable to move on.

What I care about is being open-minded and having a pluralistic approach, and the fundamental premise is that every client is unique and therefore may need different things from therapy.
