About Kelly

Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people feel less overwhelmed and find clearer ways forward. Kelly holds the NCPS credential and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are available at different times to suit varied schedules. Kelly aims to help people untangle overthinking and worry. She listens without rushing and offers gentle challenge when it helps someone see things differently.

Background and approach

Practical strategies and short-term goals are used alongside listening, so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. People who are adjusting to a health diagnosis or living with chronic pain can work with her to reduce isolation and build acceptance of a changed situation.

She also supports those dealing with shame, low self-worth, relationship strain, and the after-effects of abuse or other traumatic events. Her approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred techniques and Solution-Focused ideas, and she may use hypnotherapy where appropriate. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, not a rigid programme, and goals are agreed together.

Kelly aims to move conversations towards practical change. She helps people identify small steps that can ease daily life, improve communication, and reduce panic or low mood. Early sessions focus on immediate coping, while later work can explore deeper patterns and attachment issues when needed.

Ways of working Kelly names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Kelly uses different approaches online

Kelly commonly blends Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred counselling and Solution-Focused techniques in online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult past events and reduce their emotional hold, focusing on coping skills and step-by-step processing rather than quick fixes. Client-Centred counselling puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the therapist listening attentively and reflecting what matters most to the client. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and small, achievable steps to change daily life and reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process rather than a fixed decision. Kelly works collaboratively to agree what to try first, checks in about how methods feel, and adapts plans as needs and goals evolve. Sessions aim to balance immediate relief with longer-term change based on the person's preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, care duties, and other commitments, while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
