Background and approach
Kerry aims to build trust quickly so people can talk honestly and start making changes that feel manageable. Kerry blends approaches from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment methods. She may bring in techniques from attachment-based work and dialectical behaviour approaches when they fit the issue.
Choices are explained in simple terms during sessions so people can try what feels right. Her background includes work in schools, a GP surgery and university counselling, alongside a independent practice. She has ten years' experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as her professional credential.
Kerry has also worked as a mental health recovery worker in the community, which informed her understanding of complex and ongoing mental health needs. She describes her practice as inclusive and non-judgemental, aiming to help people regain their voice and move towards clearer goals.

Sessions & fees
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters most.Client-centred therapy centres the person rather than a set technique. The therapist offers empathy, non-judgemental listening and practical reflection so people feel heard and can work out their own solutions. This approach suits people who need space to explore feelings and build self-trust.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses simple strategies to test unhelpful beliefs and to develop new coping habits, which can be especially useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kerry will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals and preferences. She explains options plainly and adapts tools as progress is made, so the plan changes if something does not fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different places, phone calls can be shorter check-ins or good when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping focus on practical steps and real-world change.
