Kelly Porch, NCPS

Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with more than 13 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She offers focused, practical work that aims to help people find ways to manage stress, reduce overthinking, and move toward a more manageable day-to-day life. Kelly also works with those coping with chronic health conditions or persistent pain who are adjusting to diagnosis and seeking a new sense of normal.

Her practice explores feelings such as shame, abandonment, and attachment challenges, and addresses a wide range of concerns including communication and commitment issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional impacts of adoption and foster care. She draws on clinical approaches such as client-centered therapy, hypnotherapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy to tailor sessions to each personâs needs. Kelly holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects her training and experience as a psychotherapeutic counsellor.

Kelly works collaboratively rather than directing every topic of conversation, offering gentle challenge alongside empathic listening to help clients get to the core of what is troubling them. Daytime and evening appointments are available subject to scheduling and availability, and she provides a warm, practical environment for those seeking timely, meaningful change.

Approaches for online support and healing

Kelly Porch integrates client-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a safe space where a personâs own priorities guide the work - it is useful for building self-understanding and improving self-esteem. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small, achievable changes that help reduce distress and move a person toward their goals, making it especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and day-to-day problems.

She also brings trauma-focused ideas into online work when past events continue to affect current wellbeing, offering structured ways to process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - Kelly will work with each person to explore what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow people to receive support from their chosen environment while working with a registered professional.
