About Anne Marie Kelly (Brady)

“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.” from Bessel A. van der Kolk.

Book Your Initial Consultation

If you’re considering starting therapy, you can begin with a short 10-minute Zoom consultation. This opening call gives us both an opportunity to connect, discuss what you’re looking for, and explore whether we’re the right fit to work together.

There is a small nominal fee for this introductory session, which will be fully deducted from the cost of your first counselling session. Once you book, both you and I will automatically receive an email containing your Zoom link for the call.

Understanding Your Inner World

Life’s challenges can affect the mind and body in many different ways. Stress, anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, or feeling disconnected often arise when our nervous system has been under pressure for too long. In therapy, we explore these responses with curiosity rather than judgement—helping you understand what your emotions are trying to communicate.

By learning how your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations interact, you begin to recognise patterns, calm your system, and feel more grounded. This awareness becomes the foundation for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
