About Kerry

Background and approach

She aims to make the room welcoming and non-judgemental so people can talk about what feels difficult. When helpful, Kerry draws on other approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour.

These tools are chosen to match the person and the issue rather than following a single method. Kerry has five years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Common themes she supports include stress, depression, grief, relationship worries, self-esteem and trauma and abuse.

She also works with people facing career changes, sleep or eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Her practice recognises less typical issues too, such as autism and Asperger syndrome, attachment and abandonment concerns, and sexual subcultures like BDSM and kink. Sessions may touch on chronic illness, caregiver stress and body image where relevant to the person’s goals.

Kerry aims to help people explore their situation and make changes that feel realistic. She encourages a collaborative approach so goals are clear and progress can be checked over time.

How Kerry's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour. Online conversations can uncover connection patterns and help someone develop different ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, offering reflective listening and gentle questioning so people can find their own solutions and make sense of what they feel.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions Kerry may help a person identify unhelpful thoughts and practise small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences. The plan can change as therapy progresses so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. This range of options helps people access support in a way that works for them and their schedule.
