About Me

About Me

My name is Bonnie Kelly (she/her/hers). I’ve always known that holding space for others, gently, safely, and with a touch of humour, was where I was meant to be. My first official step on that path came in 2000 when I earned my diploma in Child and Youth Counselling. Life, in all its unpredictable brilliance, unfolded in ways I never could have scripted. After a pause to raise my family and gather life wisdom (the best kind), I went on to complete my Bachelor of Social Work in 2016 and my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology in 2022.

I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist (#P7641), a Registered Social Worker (#13232), and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (#11241717).

Since 2002, I’ve worked closely with children and youth in educational settings, supporting individuals and families navigating the complexities of school systems, mental health, neurodiversity, and LGBTQ2+ experiences. I take a holistic and trauma-informed approach, honouring the unique stories each person brings. I believe deeply in the importance of understanding the broader sociocultural systems that shape our wellbeing, because people don’t exist in a vacuum, and neither should therapy.

Born and raised in Airdrie, I’m proud to live and work in the community I’ve always called home. Outside of the therapy room, you’ll usually find me with my four sons, fiancé and dog, in a spin studio, cheering from the football sidelines, or chasing mountain views (and perspective) one summit at a time.
