About Kelly

Kelly Porch is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with over 13 years of experience. She works from the United Kingdom and supports people feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or stuck after difficult events. Kelly uses practical, focused conversations to help people move toward a better day-to-day life.

She meets people where they are and listens first. Sessions are driven by the client, with gentle challenge when needed to help uncover what really matters.

Background and approach

That approach helps people tackle worry, rumination and low self-worth in straightforward ways. Kelly routinely helps people who have faced trauma or abuse, and those living with chronic illness or pain who are finding adjustment hard. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, feelings of abandonment, and issues around attachment.

Her clinical work draws on client-centred therapy, solution-focused techniques, trauma-focused approaches and hypnotherapy. These methods are used to clarify goals, build coping strategies and process painful memories at a pace the person sets. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Kelly aims to help people find more acceptance, stronger self-esteem and clearer ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person and their experience. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and follows the client’s priorities to help them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to make sense of their feelings.

Trauma-focused therapy aims to help people process and work through distressing events at a manageable pace. It uses structured techniques to reduce the intensity of painful memories and to build coping skills for everyday life. This approach is often helpful for those dealing with past abuse or other traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods collaboratively. That way the plan matches the person’s needs rather than fitting them into a single model.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be clearer when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and messaging allows shorter check-ins and flexibility around schedules. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when travel would be difficult.
