Kelly Punton

Kelly Punton is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about grief, stress, relationships and other difficult feelings. Kelly encourages practical steps so people can move toward the goals that matter to them.

Kelly has five years of experience working with common life challenges. She supports people with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and body image.

Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That mix allows sessions to focus on what the individual wants while also trying tools that can reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.

Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising small experiments between meetings. Kelly aims to help clients notice what they value and take steps that fit their life and abilities.

People describe taking the first step as hard, and Kelly frames early sessions around safety and clarity. She helps set realistic goals, checks progress regularly, and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
