Kellie Giunta
Calm, practical therapy with an attachment focus
About Kellie
Kellie Giunta is a therapist with 12 years of clinical experience who uses attachment-based, person-centred, and cognitive behavioural approaches. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring difficult feelings and be heard. Sessions are paced to each person, with attention to emotional safety and practical next steps.
Kellie founded and co-manages a charity-based therapy centre that aims to make counselling more affordable and accessible. That work has shaped her commitment to compassionate, inclusive practice.
Background and approach
She also works as a clinical supervisor, supporting other practitioners to work ethically and reflectively. Her practice focuses on common and complex concerns such as anxiety, trauma and grief, depression, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She also helps with stress, self-esteem, parenting strains, sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes.
Kellie pays attention to attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and fatherhood concerns when these are part of someone's story. Therapeutic work blends gentle exploration with practical tools. Person-centred listening makes space for people to tell their story without pressure.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different coping strategies. Kellie aims to offer clarity and steady support rather than quick fixes. People who want a thoughtful, collaborative counsellor will find a calm, steady presence and practical steps to move forward.

How attachment and practical approaches work online
Kellie draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and safety in relationships. This approach helps when trust, abandonment or attachment issues affect how someone connects with others or manages strong emotions.She also uses person-centred methods that focus on listening without judgement and following the pace set by the person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside this to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build practical coping strategies for anxiety, sleep or mood problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then try methods that match those aims. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more personal contact is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or people who prefer writing to talking. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or daily life.
