Her career began in education as a Learning Mentor and Pastoral Manager, where she supported young people to reduce barriers to learning and improve emotional wellbeing, engagement and outcomes. Since then, she has developed a well-established private counselling practice, working with both adults and children, and has held leadership roles across family centres, children’s centres, school-based therapy services and adult trauma services.

​

Kelsey’s work is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-focused and relational practice. She has managed and supervised multidisciplinary teams supporting families with complex needs, including parental capacity, historical and generational trauma, health inequalities, low aspirations, financial pressures and barriers to parenting and education.

 

As a foster carer, she has offered respite to children at risk of placement breakdown, bringing lived professional insight into the realities of care, stability and therapeutic support. She also works as a consultant therapist for fostering and adoption services, children’s residential homes and therapeutic schools, and provides consultation and supervision for school case management, Designated Safeguarding Leads, senior leadership teams and professionals working with vulnerable children and families.
