Kelly Punton, NCPS

Kelly Punton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has five years of experience supporting people through grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and big life changes. Kelly aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting and meets people with calm, straightforward support.

She creates an open space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling without judgment. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to move forward. Kelly helps clients clarify goals and try small steps that build confidence and momentum.

Her work often addresses relationship strain, career stress, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, eating concerns, intimacy-related issues and midlife crisis. Kelly pays attention to patterns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment fears and codependency that can make change harder.

Kelly uses several therapy approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Solution-Focused ideas help keep sessions targeted and goal-oriented.

Kelly invites people to take therapy at a pace that feels manageable. She works collaboratively to set achievable steps and reviews progress as therapy continues. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site process and complete the initial matching questionnaire.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Kelly commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps that reflect those values, which can be useful for issues like midlife crisis or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Different session setups can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to continue work between meetings. The reader should confirm the current session options before booking so they know which formats are offered and can pick what suits their routine.
