About Kelly

Kelly Punton is a counsellor who uses a compassionate, straightforward style. She works with people who are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by life changes, or carrying grief. Kelly aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and helps people talk through what matters most to them.

Kelly is registered with NCPS, which appears after her name to show her professional credential. She has five years of experience supporting people through stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Her background includes working with issues such as anger, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, and career transitions. In sessions she draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

That mix lets her adapt to what each person needs, whether the work is about understanding past hurt or building new coping skills for everyday life. Kelly aims to create an open, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can name feelings and try practical steps forward. Conversations are intended to be clear and manageable, with small goals set between sessions when useful.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

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

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Kelly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and make sense of past hurt in a careful way. This approach aims to reduce the hold painful memories have and build practical ways to manage triggers and distress.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT focuses on identifying what matters most to a person, accepting hard feelings, and taking small committed actions toward chosen values. It is often helpful for anxiety, life changes and low mood.

Client-Centred Therapy is another part of her practice and centres the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judgement, mirrors what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to someone’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether the focus should be on processing trauma, building skills, or setting short-term goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal feedback. Phone sessions can fit around busy days and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between meetings or have shorter, more frequent contacts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
