Kelly Hann, ACA

Kelly Hann is an Australian counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her practice and holds the ACA credential as her listed professional qualification. She specialises in supporting people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the many challenges that come with coping with life changes. Kelly adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique circumstances, meeting clients with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Her work also addresses a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, ageing and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. Kelly draws on a variety of therapeutic approaches - including client-centred work, EMDR and mindfulness-based methods - to tailor support that fits each person’s goals and situation. She frames the process as collaborative and empowering, offering steady guidance for those taking the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling with Kelly Hann

Kelly Hann uses client-centred therapy to create a collaborative, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who need empathetic listening and practical support to clarify priorities and make change.

She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured method that can assist people processing traumatic memories and distressing experiences by reducing the emotional intensity connected to those memories.

Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for stress, anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kelly works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors treatment plans over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and alternatives such as live chat or text-based messaging allow clients to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while still working with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists who can support progress.
