Kelly Porch, NCPS

Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. Kelly aims to help clients find clearer ways to manage day-to-day life and move toward feeling better about themselves.

She uses a straightforward style that is not directive but will gently challenge unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on getting to the heart of the problem and developing practical steps to change things that aren’t working. That may include working through trauma, building self-esteem, or developing coping strategies for chronic illness and pain.

Kelly also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and adoption or foster care issues. She has experience with neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with complex conditions that include co-morbidity or personality-related difficulties. Her caseload has included caregiver stress and the pressures of ageing.

Her practice draws on client-centred conversations alongside solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused work. Hypnotherapy is another option she may use where appropriate. Together these approaches are used to help people make changes that feel manageable.

Kelly sees clients in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Sessions are available in daytime and evening slots depending on availability. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s timetable.

How Kelly’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client guide the conversation. It is useful when someone wants space to be heard and to make their own choices about change.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move life forward. It helps when people want quick, achievable ways to reduce worry or improve daily routines.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past harm by working through memories and reactions at a pace the client can manage. It is often chosen by people struggling to cope after difficult events.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then try ways of working that fit those aims. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people find remote therapy easier to fit around work, family and health demands, and it can reduce travel time. Others prefer a shorter check-in or a session that does not require being on camera; discuss practical arrangements with the service when you arrange appointments.
