Welcome!
I offer person-centred counselling and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to help you navigate life's challenges in a way that feels right for you. Whether you need space to talk, practical strategies for change, or a combination of both, we'll work together to find the approach that best suits your needs.
I have a particular interest in supporting professional men experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship difficulties and life transitions, but I also warmly welcome adults of all genders into my practice.
I also provide individual and group clinical supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors, and other professionals who require reflective supervision.
Explore some of the issues I can help with below (they aren't all listed).

Addiction
Addiction can take many forms, from substance abuse to compulsive behaviours, and overcoming it can be incredibly challenging.
Counselling with me can help with this
Relationships
Relationships are part of life, but they can also be complex and challenging. Counselling with me can help you with all types of relationships: romantic, family, friendships and work
Phobias
SFH focuses on empowering clients by emphasising goals and strengths rather than exploring the phobia's origins. This approach uses hypnosis to help clients make positive changes and overcome their fears effectively.
Depression
Depression can feel overwhelming, but psychotherapeutic counselling with me offers a
supportive and effective
way to manage and overcome it.
Trauma
Trauma can leave an impact that affects how you feel, think, and interact with the world. Counselling offers a place to work through and begin the process of moving forward
Smoking/Vaping
Have you struggled to give up smoking or vaping on your own or are struggling to quit at the moment?
Perhaps it is time to try a different approach and contact me for some solution-focussed hypnotherapy.
Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can lead to feelings of self-doubt, insecurity, and a constant struggle with self-worth. Counselling provides a place to explore these feelings and build a healthier self-image.
Stress/Burnout
Stress can take a serious toll on your emotional and physical well-being. Counselling can provide valuable support in managing and reducing its impact
Performance
SFH enhances performance by inducing relaxation and reducing stress, which helps to calm the brain's stress response. It focuses on positive visualisation and goal-setting, reinforcing confidence and concentration
Anxiety
Anxiety can take over our lives and feel overwhelming. Counselling can provide a place where the root causes of anxiety can be discovered, & effective strategies identified to manage it.
Confidence
Stress can take a serious toll on your emotional and physical well-being. Counselling can provide valuable support in managing and reducing its impact

C.L.E.A.R Clinical Supervision Membership
For newly qualified counsellors
Starting your counselling career can feel exciting, rewarding
...and at times, overwhelming.
The first few years after qualifying often bring new challenges, ethical dilemmas and increasing responsibility.
C.L.E.A.R. Supervision has been created to ensure you don't have to navigate those early years alone.
My monthly membership provides affordable, professionally facilitated clinical supervision within a stable, supportive community of fellow newly qualified counsellors.
Rather than booking supervision one session at a time, you'll become part of an ongoing supervision group where trust, confidence and meaningful professional relationships can develop over time.
Meet Kelly Porch
Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Solution-Focussed Hypnotherapist and Clinical Supervisor
I'm Kelly Porch, and I’m here to support you in overcoming whatever is troubling you. With over 12 years of experience as a therapist, I provide therapeutic counselling, solution-focused hypnotherapy, and clinical supervision.
Unlike many agencies, my services are not limited to a set number of sessions—you can have as many as you need, at your own pace.
I offer both daytime and evening appointments (subject to availability).
For in-person sessions, my practice is in Kettering, Northamptonshire (NN15), in a private, comfortable garden room that’s fully air-conditioned and heated. I also offer online sessions via Zoom for both counselling and hypnotherapy, allowing you to access support from wherever you are.
