Ms Kelly O'Hearn

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

My goal is to create a nurturing and welcoming space where we can grow together in our therapeutic alliance fostering connection and teamwork to support your journey of healing and personal development. With genuine care and curiosity, we'll explore the depths of your mind, heart, and spirit.

About Me

My aim is to cultivate a truly nurturing and welcoming space for our work together. Here, we can build a strong therapeutic alliance, fostering connection and teamwork to support your healing. With genuine care, I invite you to explore the depths of your mind, heart, and spirit. This collaborative journey helps you uncover insights and develop personally. If you seek a safe, curious environment to grow, this approach could be a good fit for you.

Approach

We'll shape sessions to feel steady and practical, paced by your needs and curiosity so therapy becomes a shared process of trying things and reflecting. I work with clients in Peterborough and online in English, keeping sessions focused with clear check-ins and brief practices between meetings when useful. Through values-guided experiments, mindful noticing, and structured feedback, I help you spot patterns, build small strategies for attention, anxiety, transitions and trauma, and see what shifts. This hands-on way suits people seeking thoughtful, collaborative change.
