I had 4 sessions with Kerry and so glad I reached out as I have learnt so much. Kerry was attentive, supportive and so lovely throughout, didn’t give too much advice but when she did I took it onboard. If your ever struggling and want to speak to someone without been judged, Kerry is for you. Thank you!

More about Kerry

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Welcome. My name is Kerry.

I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, depression, family conflicts, LGBTQ+ adults, relationship difficulties, loneliness, coping with grief, lack of self esteem and confidence, dealing with life changes.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

My approach is Person Centred, I provide a safe space where you can talk about what you need to and what you are struggling with at this point in your life.

Together we can start a conversation about how we can work together to support you and work towards happier living. Painful feelings and reactions can get in the way of living.

When someone listens and is fully present with us we can listen to what hurts inside.

Learning to hear ourselves, with compassion accompanied by a caring other, can be a very healing process. New ways forward emerge, you become more able to cope, make decisions you couldn't before, or express yourself as once you could not. It may be surprising to discover what held you back. We all have inner knowledge of what's right for us. I will work with you to find your inner resources so you can navigate your life with less stress.

Making sense, however stuck or unhappy we feel however scary or deeply distressing our experiences, these makes very good sense when we understand them as a natural reaction to what life has thrown at us.

This includes childhood experiences, losses, painful dilemmas in adult life, as well as the social and economic conditions we are living in, or societie’s view of how we should be.

You may also want counselling because you’re experiencing life in ways that are hard to describe. Feeling stuck, feeling life has no meaning, feeling numb, feeling reactive to everything, being in conflict with others or yourself, having difficulty making decisions, feeling unfulfilled. You may feel there is more to life, but don’t know how to find it.

I also a work with LGBTQ+ adults who wish to meet a counsellor where these aspects of their identity will not unnecessarily be questioned or looked at, but can be spoken about respectfully and safely.

For me, the most important qualities a therapist can offer is being there for the client, witnessing their story and offering a warm and non-judgmental space. I’m happy to work with whatever you bring to me and I welcome a diverse range of clients.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
