Kelly Hyatt, Qualifying RP

Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I offer a safe space for individuals to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. As a qualifying psychotherapist, I focus on mindfulness therapy that connects clients with strategies fostering self-compassion while exploring the blocks that hold them back. Together, we determine the best path forward, building resilience and momentum for a more fulfilling life.

Adolescents and young adults often face a unique combination of pressures, from academic stress and family dynamics to anxiety, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Mindfulness therapy provides a safe, supportive space where teens can express themselves openly, develop emotional awareness, and learn practical tools to navigate these challenges. By working with a qualifying psychotherapist, the goal is to help young people cultivate self-compassion and define their values in order to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) workshops are a vital aspect of my practice as a qualifying psychotherapist. This eight-week, evidence-based program, developed by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer, integrates mindfulness therapy and self-compassion exercises to cultivate emotional resilience, diminish self-criticism, and nurture a kinder relationship with oneself. Participants acquire practical tools for managing challenging emotions and improving overall well-being in a supportive group environment. Witnessing participants’ growth during these workshops is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
