Kelly Punton, NCPS

Kelly Punton draws on a blend of practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She is identified as NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential. Kelly focuses on helping people with grief, self-esteem, motivation and trauma-related concerns, and she aims to make beginning therapy a less daunting step.

Kelly creates a calm, non-judgemental space for conversations. She encourages people to say what they need and to set small, achievable goals. Sessions are aimed at helping people move forward in their day-to-day lives rather than getting stuck on problems.

Her approach mixes acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting current wellbeing. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, test new ways of coping, and regain a clearer sense of direction.

Kelly has five years of experience working in therapeutic settings. That experience includes supporting people through relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting stress and career-related strain. She also works with loss, end-of-life related matters and first responder challenges.

People coming to Kelly often want practical steps and emotional support. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them build coping skills. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and encouraging.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Kelly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often suits people who want tools to move forward despite ongoing worry or low mood.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a steady space to talk and be heard without judgement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest what to try first. Together they review what helps and change direction if something does not fit.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and let people connect from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or sessions without video if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to work well through remote sessions, and Kelly tailors techniques to match what people find most useful.
