Kelly Hope
Counsellor, Couples Therapist & Founder of The Hope Approach
Kelly Hope - Founder, Counsellor, Couples Therapist
Let me help you
I’m Kelly — a warm, grounded, emotionally attuned counsellor who helps individuals and couples understand themselves more deeply, break old patterns and create healthier ways of connecting.
My style is direct but gentle, practical but intuitive. I listen deeply, ask the right questions, and help you see what’s happening beneath the surface so real change can begin — the kind that lasts.
I specialise in couples therapy, communication, conflict patterns, intimacy blocks, shutdown responses and the deeper emotional layers that drive behaviour. I also support clients navigating ADHD, burnout, identity shifts, overwhelm, anxiety, trauma patterns and big life transitions.
Over the years, I’ve blended counselling with a range of mind–body and evidence-based tools — including hypnotherapy, EFT, creative processes, meditation and nervous system regulation — to support clients in a holistic, realistic and human way.
