Meet Kaelyn Dounis: Empowering Your Path to Wellness
Kaelyn Dounis
Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist
Kaelyn Dounis is a therapist dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and families in building resilience, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. With a Bachelor of Psychology majoring in Neuroscience and a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, Kaelyn brings together a unique blend of scientific knowledge and therapeutic practice to create meaningful change for her clients.
Kaelyn’s professional journey began as a dyslexia specialist, where she supported children in overcoming learning challenges while fostering a sense of self-belief and achievement. This early work highlighted to her just how important it is to nurture not only academic growth but also emotional development. Over the years, her experience has expanded into mentoring children and young people with disabilities, where she has provided consistent, long-term guidance and care. Through this, she has developed a reputation for her ability to connect deeply with children, helping them feel safe, understood, and empowered.
Her approach is informed by both psychology and neuroscience, recognising the intricate connection between the brain, behaviour, and emotions. By combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with hypnotherapy and psychotherapy practices, Kaelyn creates tailored strategies to suit the unique needs of each child and family she works with. She values a holistic perspective, understanding that every child’s journey is shaped by their environment, relationships, and inner world.
Kaelyn works with children and young people to strengthen emotional regulation, self-esteem, and coping skills, while also supporting parents and families to better understand and respond to their child’s needs. She is passionate about creating a therapeutic space that is welcoming, compassionate, and free from judgment — a place where children can express themselves openly and begin to flourish.
At the heart of Kaelyn’s practice is her belief that every child has the potential to thrive when given the right support, encouragement, and tools. She is deeply committed to walking alongside families on their journey, empowering young people to overcome challenges and embrace their strengths with confidence.
