About Kelly
Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or low self-esteem. Kelly aims to help clients find practical ways to manage worry and face each day with more confidence.
Clients often come with long-term health conditions, chronic pain, or feelings of isolation. Kelly listens to how these issues affect daily life and helps people move towards acceptance and a workable new normal.
Background and approach
She also supports people processing trauma, abuse, and relationship difficulties. Her sessions are conversational and focused. Kelly follows a client-centred style and gently challenges unhelpful patterns.
She aims to get to the heart of what matters quickly, so people can start to see change in their lives. Kelly also uses solution-focused techniques to build practical steps forward. Hypnotherapy is available for people who want a different tool for stress, anxiety or habit change.
Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning. She works with individuals in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and routines.
Kelly schedules daytime and evening appointments where possible and supports people in English.
How Kelly’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and reflects what matters most, helping people feel heard and understood and then decide the next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term steps and clear goals. It helps people identify what is already working and build simple, achievable actions to reduce anxiety or stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk with clients about their needs, hopes and what they prefer. Together they explore which methods fit best and may try different approaches over time to find what helps most.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit around life. Video calls are like face-to-face conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and to keep progress moving between sessions.
