More about Kerry
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a fully qualified counsellor and member of the BACP. I work in an integrative way using a range of different modalities and therapies in order to find the right fit for clients. At the core of my work is person centred therapy and sessions will very much be client led, but I also include other modalities such as Trabsactional Analysis (TA), Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where necessary to help challenge unproductive thinking patterns.
At times we will all experience difficult feelings, or face challenges which can leave us feeling confused, troubled, distressed and isolated. These problems can also have an impact on the relationships in our lives. I offer a warm, safe and non judgmental environment where you can explore problems and discuss issues and concerns and where i can help you to facilitate the change you want.
I have worked with clients with a large range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, health anxiety, lack of motivation, self esteem issues, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse .

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Absolutely amazing, she’s helped so much!
Kerry is an excellent therapist who understands me & offers good practices. She remembers details I shared a long time ago & connects all the dots with me. She helps me to reflect on my values & through tough times without being judgemental, and she helps me to be kinder to myself.
Kerry is very supportive and reassuring. She listens to whatever you have to say and responds appropriately and in a timely manner to messages. She is very caring and goes through everything thoroughly and unpacks everything you've said. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders after every session.
