Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the impact of trauma and abuse. She works with individuals who want practical steps to feel steadier and more able to face each day. Kelly uses straightforward language and a focused approach to make sessions feel useful from the start.

Kelly offers a calm, direct style that listens without taking over the conversation.

Background and approach

She encourages people to name what matters and to try small, achievable changes between sessions. Her aim is to reduce rumination, build self-worth and help clients spot patterns that keep them stuck. Her practice includes support for those coping with chronic health conditions, chronic pain or the emotional effects of a diagnosis.

She also works with concerns tied to attachment, abandonment and adoption and foster care histories. Kelly will talk through how these issues affect mood, relationships and everyday functioning. She uses approaches drawn from client-centred work, solution-focused techniques, trauma-focused methods and hypnotherapy to tailor sessions to what each person needs.

Kelly explains methods simply so people know what to expect and can choose what feels most helpful. Sessions are available in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Appointments may be scheduled for daytime or evening, and are arranged to fit a client’s routine.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and an appointment is booked according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Kelly uses client-centred therapy to focus on each person’s experience, listening closely and following what they bring to the session. This approach helps people feel heard and supports work on self-esteem, relationships and everyday stressors.

She also uses solution-focused therapy to set clear, short-term goals and try small experiments between sessions. This method is problem-oriented and useful when someone wants concrete steps to reduce worry or improve coping quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative so the client helps shape what is tried and how progress is checked.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
