Insight Psychological Therapists - Bonnie Kelly

Bonnie Kelly, Registered Provisional Psychologist, MA (She/Her)

Hi there! I’m Bonnie Kelly, a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and I’m really looking forward to working with you. I believe that life can be full of challenges, big and small, and it’s so important to have the right support as you navigate through them. My role is to walk alongside you on this journey, offering understanding and tools to help you reach your goals and feel more confident in facing whatever comes your way.

I know that the idea of counselling can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming or even intimidating. That’s why I’m committed to creating a space where you can feel completely at ease. It’s really important to me that you feel safe, comfortable, and truly heard when we’re working together. Whether you’re coming in for help with a specific issue or simply looking to gain some insight and clarity, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

If you are struggling to take the first step in booking an appointment or curious about whether I am the right fit for you, please give us a call to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

More About Bonnie Kelly

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Social Work. Becoming a psychologist and working with people has been a lifelong passion of mine, ever since I was quite young. My approach to counselling is grounded in a person-centred, affirming, and strength-based perspective. I’m dedicated to truly understanding you—your experiences, your story, and the unique worldview that shapes who you are.

My goal is to create a secure, supportive environment where you feel safe to express your authentic self and embark on a journey of personal growth. I specialize in working with teenagers, adults, families, and parents, and I deeply believe that strong relationships are at the heart of well-being. I particularly enjoy helping individuals navigate life transitions, manage stress, and build stronger self-awareness and coping skills. Whether it’s supporting families in strengthening their bonds, guiding parents through difficult situations, or helping teenagers navigate the complexities of growing up, I’m here to provide a nurturing space where everyone feels heard and valued.

I’m here to listen, support, and help you move forward with greater clarity, connection, and confidence. I look forward to getting to know you and working together as you take steps toward your goals and well-being!
