Kelly Oliver Dougall
Hi, I’m Kelly Oliver Dougall. I’m a counsellor, podcast host, and an advocate for women’s sex-based rights and free speech. I work with women who’ve been cancelled, bullied, or harassed - often in their workplaces or communities - helping them rebuild confidence so they can move forward again.
Alongside my counselling work, I also run a home care business, so I understand the realities of juggling care, responsibility, and trying to stay true to your values.
On my podcast, I speak with women navigating similar challenges.
