She listens to my worries and thoughts, reminds me that this is a safe space and doesn't judge me at all. Even though we have had only one session together so far, I can tell that she gives great importance to her clients as she responds to my messages quickly and she checked in on me when I had to cancel an appointment. She understands me and tells me about techniques that can help me.

More about Kerry

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the UK with over 3 years experience.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to, depression and anxiety, traumas, grief, abuse, relationship issues, family and attachment issues.
My approach to working with clients has been formed from my own experience of therapy. I understand how scary and vulnerable starting therapy can feel, but I also know what a difference having a resilient, yet gentle and understanding therapist can make to that journey.
I utilise a range of theories and modalities to ensure that I am able to offer a completely individual experience for each client.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental and understanding environment for you to be heard, to explore how you feel, explore the past and its impact on the present whilst offering challenges to help you achieve your therapeutic goals and move forward.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process, you are not alone.
I look forward to working with you.

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.
