About Kelly
Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with over 13 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. Kelly focuses on helping clients find clearer ways to face each day and reduce unhelpful worry and overthinking.
She aims to help people adjust to life after a health diagnosis or when living with chronic pain. That can mean moving toward a new normal and feeling less isolated.
Background and approach
Kelly also helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, shame, or difficulty coping after a traumatic event. Her style centres on listening closely and following the client's lead while offering gentle challenge. Sessions are practical and focused, so people often leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Kelly draws on client-centred work alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed methods. She also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate to help with relaxation and shifting patterns of thinking.
These approaches are woven together to suit each person's needs and goals. Appointments are available in the daytime and evenings when possible, and sessions may be held via video call, phone, chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches Kelly lists

Online support
Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps. It helps identify what is already working and build on those strengths to reduce stress, worry and unhelpful thinking. People often leave sessions with clear tasks to try between meetings.
Trauma-focused work pays attention to the effects of past traumatic events and uses structured ways to reduce their impact on day-to-day life. It can help when anxiety or depression links back to difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss options and adapt methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to use audio. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health constraints and help keep therapy consistent over time.
