CBT Therapist, EMDR & Hypnotherapist in Chesterfield — About Keely

There can be a meaningful difference between a therapist who is trained in CBT and one who holds BABCP Accreditation — the specialist gold standard for cognitive behavioural practitioners, recognised by NICE guidelines, NHS commissioning frameworks, and employer specifications across the UK. Keely holds that accreditation. She is also a qualified EMDR therapist, a clinical hypnotherapist, and a Registered Mental Health Nurse — a combination of credentials that is exceptionally rare in private practice, and particularly rare in Chesterfield and across Derbyshire.

 

Keely is based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, offering face-to-face sessions locally and online and telephone therapy across the UK. She works concurrently within the NHS and in private practice — bringing the depth of NHS clinical experience directly into her private work. Her practice covers CBT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, EMDR for trauma, and clinical hypnotherapy, with particular depth in anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, phobias, depression, PTSD, and trauma.

Background & Experience

Keely’s background spans NHS mental health nursing and private practice — giving her a breadth and depth of clinical experience that most private practitioners have not accumulated. As a Registered Mental Health Nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), she has worked with a wide range of mental health presentations in NHS settings, developing a solid foundation in supporting complex and acute mental health needs. This NHS background — concurrent with her private practice — gives her clinical understanding a grounding in real-world complexity that directly informs her private work.

 

She has pursued specialist training to the highest level in each of her therapeutic modalities: BABCP Accreditation for CBT, a recognised EMDR qualification, and clinical hypnotherapy training. Her Foundation Training in Mindfulness and background in Yoga Therapy also inform her holistic approach to wellbeing — particularly in working with stress, anxiety, and physical tension alongside psychological difficulty. Keely maintains regular professional supervision and is committed to ongoing professional development at the highest standard.

 

Therapeutic Approaches

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — BABCP Accredited

CBT is Keely’s primary therapeutic modality — and the one in which her training and accreditation reach the highest standard. BABCP Accreditation is the specialist credential for CBT practitioners in the UK, recognised by NICE, the NHS, and employer specifications as the benchmark of CBT competence. CBT works by identifying and working with the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — helping you understand and change the patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, panic, and other difficulties. Keely’s BABCP Accredited CBT practice draws on the full range of evidence-based CBT protocols, applied to the specific presentation and needs of each individual.

Mindfulness-Based CBT (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based CBT combines the cognitive approach of CBT with mindfulness practices — helping you develop a different relationship with your thoughts and feelings, particularly useful for recurrent depression, anxiety, and stress. Keely offers MBCT both as a named service and as an integrated element within her broader CBT practice. Mindfulness-Based CBT Chesterfield. MBCT therapist online Derbyshire.

 

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing

EMDR is a specialist, evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help people process and integrate traumatic memories and experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation — typically through guided eye movements — to facilitate the reprocessing of distressing memories that are being stored in a way that maintains PTSD, trauma responses, and related difficulties. EMDR is recommended by NICE as a first-line treatment for PTSD and has a strong evidence base for trauma, phobias, and anxiety. Keely is a qualified EMDR therapist offering EMDR sessions face-to-face in Chesterfield and online across the UK. EMDR therapist Chesterfield. EMDR therapy Derbyshire. EMDR for PTSD Chesterfield.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to address and modify unwanted patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour. It can be particularly effective for phobias, anxiety, and presentations where deeply habituated patterns are maintaining difficulty despite other interventions. Keely’s clinical hypnotherapy practice draws on her broader clinical training and NHS background, giving it a grounding in psychological understanding that distinguishes it from standalone hypnotherapy practice.
