About Kelly
Kelly Punton is a counsellor who uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage life’s hard moments. She holds NCPS and has five years of experience supporting people with grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and major life changes. Kelly keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate to help clients make steady progress.
Kelly creates a calm space where people can say what they feel and think without judgement. She listens closely and helps clients map out clear, realistic steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters now and what the person wants to change. Her work covers a range of concerns including stress, relationships, trauma and eating or body-image issues. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, fertility and end-of-life issues.
Kelly discusses practical strategies for coping, and helps people weigh options when life feels overwhelming. Kelly draws on several clinical approaches to shape her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide how she structures sessions and sets goals with each person.
Kelly practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule appointments according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Kelly works online
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood. CBT is helpful for practical skill-building around anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biographical summary. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people keep momentum between appointments by making it simpler to attend regularly.
