About Kelly
Kelly Punton is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people talk through difficult times. She holds NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and clear.
Kelly creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. She helps people identify the issues that are holding them back and works alongside them to set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and how to take steps towards those aims.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes such as grief and separation. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, body image, codependency and attachment issues. Work may cover career strain, parenting pressures or the emotional impact of illness and bereavement.
Kelly uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. She draws on trauma-focused ideas when needed to help people process painful experiences. Over time she helps clients notice patterns and try different responses in day-to-day life.
Kelly has five years of professional experience. She encourages people who are nervous about therapy to start with a simple step and to notice small changes over time.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Kelly often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and take small steps towards a more meaningful life. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that reflect what matters to the person.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments. CBT offers clear techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and stress by changing day-to-day patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during times of change, while the therapist and client agree on practical arrangements that suit them both.
