Dr. Kelly brings warmth, intelligence, and a distinctly Irish sensibility to her practice — she knows when to sit in silence and when to offer a well-timed dose of humour. She is deeply influenced by Compassion-Focused Therapy and integrates it with EMDR to help clients not only process trauma but also build the self-compassion that trauma so often erodes. She is particularly passionate about breaking the cycle of intergenerational silence around mental health in Irish families.
She offers in-person sessions in Dublin 2 and telehealth across Ireland.
