    Meet Kelly – Founder of Hand on Heart Counselling

    Hi, I’m Kelly, the heart behind Hand on Heart Counselling. With years of experience supporting individuals and couples through life’s toughest moments, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and their happiness.

    Originally from the UK, I made Melbourne my home in 2010, and for over a decade, I’ve been guiding people through personal struggles with empathy, authenticity, and real-life wisdom. Before launching Hand on Heart Counselling, I spent 11 years in the wellbeing field and later worked from a private counselling practice, both experiences that deepened my expertise and strengthened my commitment to making a real impact.

    I specialise in working with individuals and couples facing complex challenges, using evidence-based techniques like Thought Field Therapy (TFT) tapping and the Prepare & Enrich program to foster deeper emotional connections and long-term personal growth. With advanced training and mentorship, I’ve developed a holistic, down-to-earth approach that’s both effective and deeply personal.

    At the core of my practice is a belief that everyone deserves to live in alignment with their true values and feel fulfilled in their relationships. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, or just feeling lost, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

    If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s have a chat. Every session is tailored to you. No judgment, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just genuine support from someone who truly understands that life isn’t always easy, but it’s absolutely worth it.
