About Kelly
Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She uses a clear, goal-focused style so conversations move from stuck to useful. Kelly aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to face the day.
Kelly works with people who are dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, chronic pain and the emotional impact of diagnoses.
Background and approach
Sessions cover practical coping strategies alongside space to talk through difficult feelings. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment and adoption-related matters, caregiver stress and communication problems. She draws on a blend of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.
In session Kelly takes a client-centred stance, listening first and responding with gentle challenge and structured suggestions when helpful. Hypnotherapy and solution-focused ideas are offered as ways to change unhelpful patterns and build short-term strategies for everyday life. People find her straightforward and practical when they want to reduce worry, tackle shame, or develop better coping tools.
Kelly offers daytime and evening appointments when possible and works with adults in the United Kingdom to make therapy fit around life.

Online support
How Kelly blends practical methods for online therapy
Kelly offers Hypnotherapy as an option for people who want to work with focused relaxation and imagery to change habits or manage strong reactions. It can be used alongside talk therapy to support change in behaviours and emotional responses.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what you bring to the session. This approach helps people feel heard and then choose the next steps that suit them. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, achievable changes and build on them quickly to reduce overwhelm.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kelly will talk about what feels helpful, match methods to your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. The aim is to find a combination that fits your needs and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow fuller conversations and visual contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when you prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving or travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
