Kelly Porch , NCPS

Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or low mood and wants to help them find clearer ways forward. Kelly aims to help clients stop overthinking, manage difficult feelings and feel more able to face each day.

She also supports people coping with chronic illness or persistent pain who are trying to reach a new normal. That can include dealing with isolation, coming to terms with a diagnosis, or reducing the shame that often comes with prolonged health problems.

Kelly uses a conversational, client-centred style. She listens without taking over, and she will gently challenge unhelpful patterns so progress happens sooner. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding the feelings behind them.

Her work includes trauma-focused methods when past harm is still causing distress. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and hypnotherapy when appropriate to help with anxiety or habit change. Kelly tailors her approach to what each person needs most.

Kelly sees people in the United Kingdom. Appointments are available at different times of day, including some evenings, and she offers a mix of phone, video and text-based session formats. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How Kelly’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals so people see progress quickly and build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative step means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can suit low-bandwidth connections or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, care responsibilities or mobility limits, and to continue work between sessions with regular messaging.
