About Kelly
Kelly Punton is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has five years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and related issues. Kelly works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Kelly uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused techniques. In sessions she encourages clear, manageable steps you can try between meetings.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting stress, anger, career difficulties, depression and compassion fatigue. She also addresses specific areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, fertility and end-of-life matters, and the pressures faced by first responders.
Sessions focus on understanding the problem, testing new responses, and building practical coping strategies. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-directed, with space to talk through emotions and make small changes that add up. Kelly uses brief exercises and reflective discussion to track progress.
If someone is unsure what to expect, the first session is used to map concerns and agree next steps. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first appointment. The subscription-based session model can be cancelled at any time.
How Kelly uses CBT and ACT in online sessions
Kelly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours so clients can try small changes and see what helps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her approach; ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action rather than trying to push feelings away.She combines these methods with a client-centred stance and solution-focused techniques so the work stays practical. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and immediate needs, then agree an approach and plan to check what is working.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose sessions that suit their day - for example a phone call for a quick update or a longer video meeting for in-depth work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for use in remote appointments to keep the work focused and practical.
