Kelly PuntonNCPS

Kelly Punton is a counsellor who uses straightforward, client-focused methods to help people move forward. She brings five years of experience and works from a respectful, non-judgemental stance. Kelly holds NCPS, which she lists as her credential. She aims to make the first step feel easier for someone who is worried or unsure.

Kelly helps people cope with grief and loss and with life changes that feel overwhelming. She supports people dealing with anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as relationship strain, intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, and challenges tied to fertility and body image.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions are a place to talk honestly about feelings and to set small, realistic goals. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to suit the issue at hand.

Kelly aims to create an accepting space where clients can explore thoughts without fear of judgement. She helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Over time the focus is on clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

People commonly come for help with depression, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, grief around illness or loss, and career or midlife changes. Kelly offers practical, empathic support for these concerns and for the many everyday difficulties that parents and expectant people may face.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It supports work on values, motivation and coping with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It is useful for stress, low mood and day-to-day worries. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on gentle, paced ways to address traumatic memories and their effects, helping people regain control and feel safer in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kelly will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit a person's needs and goals. She uses a mix of techniques and adjusts them as work progresses, so the plan can change as things shift.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fit with work or family routines and fewer journeys to appointments. Online sessions can help people keep continuity of care during life changes and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed.
