Kelly Porch, NCPS

Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience who helps people quickly identify the core issues affecting their lives and make practical changes. She holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential, and offers support for concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Kelly works with clients who are struggling to cope with chronic health conditions or persistent pain, supporting them to move toward acceptance and a manageable new normal. She also assists people feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or burdened by shame, helping them to explore these feelings, develop coping strategies, and build greater self-understanding.

Her practice emphasises a collaborative, client-centered style that avoids directing every topic while still offering gentle challenge and focused guidance to accelerate progress. Kelly provides psychotherapeutic counselling tailored to each person’s needs and goals, whether seeking short-term solution-focused work or deeper therapeutic exploration. She is based in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. Daytime and evening appointments are available subject to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Kelly Porch uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and reflective guidance to promote insight and self-direction. This approach is often helpful for stress, low self-worth, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

Hypnotherapy is used as a focused tool to support relaxation, strengthen coping strategies, and help people shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It can be useful alongside other therapeutic work for anxiety, sleep issues, and habit change.

Kelly also offers trauma-informed work to help people process and manage the effects of past or recent traumatic experiences. She aims to tailor interventions to each person’s readiness and needs, balancing safety with progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kelly works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexible ways to access support without travel. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during difficult periods, and receive care from licensed professionals in a way that suits individual routines and needs.
