About Kelly
Kelly Punton is a UK counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and issues with self-esteem. She also helps with trauma, life changes and concerns around intimacy and eating.
Kelly focuses on making time to listen and understand what matters to each person. She uses a conversational style so people can talk through what is on their mind. Sessions are aimed at helping clients clear what is holding them back and identify practical next steps.
Her background includes supporting people through bereavement and major life transitions. She also addresses patterns linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency. Work with her can cover practical coping strategies and looking at how beliefs and behaviour interact.
Kelly draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods. She adapts sessions to what a person brings, using gentle problem-solving and trauma-informed ideas when needed.
People who contact Kelly often want help making sense of painful feelings, improving communication, or finding ways to manage anxiety and anger. She encourages small, achievable changes and helps clients set clear goals for the weeks between sessions.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. This initial step helps plan work that fits the client’s circumstances and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practise actions that line up with those values. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful thinking.She also uses client-centred methods, which means sessions focus on the person’s own concerns and pace. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals and try methods that suit the client’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel to appointments. Many people find it simpler to maintain regular sessions this way while working through guilt, loss or life transitions.
