Taking Responsibility. Creating Safety. Building Change.

With over 30 years of experience in the field, I integrate evidence-based approaches including MI, ACT, CBT, and Narrative Therapy within frameworks like Duluth and the Behavioural Safety Model.
About Tim & His ApproachAbout Tim & His Approach
Practical, relational, and trauma-informed.
Tim Kelly is a Registered Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience in counselling, consultation, training, program leadership, project development, organizational management, and family violence work. His practice is grounded in the belief that people can take responsibility for harm, understand the patterns they are caught in, and build safer, more respectful relationships.
His approach combines compassion with directness. The work is informed by Motivational Interviewing, ACT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, the Duluth Model, and behavioural safety frameworks, with attention to safety, responsibility, repair, and meaningful change.
For clients, this means therapy that is respectful, honest, and focused on what can be different. For professionals, it means supervision and consultation that supports thoughtful case formulation, safety planning, ethical decision-making, and grounded practice in complex situations.
What to expect from counselling
You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. We begin with what brings you here, what matters to you, and what you would like to be different.
My role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and offer support and honest feedback. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns shaping your life, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to move forward. There is room to feel understood and to examine choices that may be contributing to difficulties.
Some people find a few focused sessions helpful. Others benefit from ongoing work, particularly when concerns involve longstanding patterns, painful experiences, or relationships. We’ll discuss the focus and pace of counselling early on, taking your time, finances, and circumstances into account.
Change can involve understanding something differently, practising a new response, or taking responsibility for the impact of your actions. What happens between sessions matters, too: counselling offers a place to reflect on those efforts and work through what gets in the way.
We’ll regularly review what is helping and whether our work is moving you toward your goals. You are welcome to raise concerns or ask for a different direction. Decisions about continuing, spacing out sessions, or finishing will be part of that conversation.

Individual therapy for accountability, insight, and change.
Individual therapy can help when you are concerned about anger, defensiveness, conflict, control, shame, anxiety, trauma, or patterns that keep showing up in relationships.
The work focuses on understanding what happens before, during, and after difficult moments. We slow the pattern down, look at impact, and build practical ways to respond with more responsibility and choice.
This is not about reducing a person to the worst thing they have done. It is about taking behaviour seriously enough to change it.

Couples therapy where safety, honesty, and repair matter.
Couples therapy can support partners who are trying to understand conflict, rebuild trust, communicate more clearly, or decide what a safer relationship would require.
The work pays attention to both the emotional pattern and the impact of behaviour. When harm has occurred, repair cannot be rushed; it needs responsibility, consistency, and room for both people to speak honestly.
Sessions focus on slowing escalation, naming the cycle, strengthening boundaries, and helping partners move from reaction toward clearer choices.
Book OnlineSupervision
Clinical supervision for therapists carrying complex cases.
Supervision offers a reflective space for therapists working with trauma, intimate partner violence, men’s behaviour change, coercive control, accountability, separation, parenting, and repair.
The focus is on slowing the work down enough to clarify what is happening clinically, ethically, and relationally. We consider safety, risk, responsibility, power, client readiness, and the therapist’s own positioning in the work.
Supervision can support stronger case formulation, practical next steps, documentation thinking, and confidence in complex or stuck clinical situations.

Consultation and training for professionals and organizations.
Consultation is available for practitioners, teams, and organizations working in trauma, gender-based violence, men’s accountability, family systems, and high-conflict relationship dynamics.
The work can include case consultation, program development, training design, facilitation, and support for teams trying to strengthen shared language and practice.
The aim is to make complex work more coherent: clearer formulation, safer decision-making, more useful language, and stronger alignment between values and practice.

Responsibility.
Change.
Accountability and compassion can sit together. The work is to take harm seriously, understand impact, and support responsibility, repair, and safer choices.
For professionals
Supervision and consultation for complex clinical work.
I support practitioners, teams, and organizations working with trauma, family violence, men's behaviour change, accountability, separation, parenting, repair, and complex clinical systems.
The work is reflective and practical. We slow the situation down, clarify what is happening clinically and relationally, and think through safety, responsibility, ethics, power, documentation, and next steps.
Supporting people who work with men who cause harm
Men who cause harm come into contact with many services. They may seek help with anxiety, substance use, parenting, separation, or relationship difficulties without identifying the impact of their behaviour on others.
I offer supervision and consultation for practitioners working with these men in counselling, child welfare, addictions, mental health, healthcare, and community settings.
The work provides space to think through difficult conversations, clarify patterns of harm, and consider safety, power, responsibility, and readiness for change. We also examine our own responses: where we feel stuck, drawn into debate, reassured too quickly, or uncertain about how to challenge while maintaining engagement.
Together, we consider whose perspective may be missing, what evidence of change would look like, and what practical next steps are appropriate within your role. The focus is on thoughtful, accountable practice that keeps the safety and experiences of those affected by harm in view.
