Kerry adapts her style to each person. She blends practical talking therapy with techniques drawn from cognitive and acceptance‑based approaches.

Background and approach

That background includes school counselling, work in a GP surgery and a university counselling role, plus community mental health work as a one‑to‑one recovery worker.

Kerry holds BACP accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also runs a personal psychotherapy practice and designs wellbeing workshops for groups. Her approach is warm and non‑judgemental.

Kerry aims to help people find their voice again and to create practical steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients. Clients generally meet online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Kerry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment‑based ideas, client‑centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and DBT skills to tailor care to each person.

How Kerry’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify what matters and take small actions towards those values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills for managing mood, sleep and unhelpful habits. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kerry works together with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means plans are reviewed and changed as needed so the work fits the person’s life.

Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check‑ins. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or need brief, on‑the‑go support. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on building practical skills and emotional resilience.
