Kerry Marshall welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can say what matters. Kerry recognises taking the first step towards help takes courage and he aims to make the process calm and straightforward.

Kerry works from a humanistic viewpoint and uses Client-Centred Therapy. He believes people already hold many of their answers and that gentle, non-judgemental conversation can help them find those answers.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what the person brings rather than on advice from the counsellor. He helps with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people managing addiction, grief, trauma and relationship concerns, and he can address issues such as sleeping, eating and intimacy-related worries.

Career changes, anger, bipolar and ADHD are also within his range of experience. Kerry trained through a series of counselling certificates, a diploma in humanistic counselling and a BA (Hons) degree in humanistic counselling. He holds BACP registration, which is listed in his credentials as BACP.

In session he focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people explore their own thoughts and feelings. He will not tell clients what to do but will work alongside them so they can make decisions that suit their life. Kerry offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and lifestyles.

Client-centred work and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection rather than direction, which helps people explore their feelings and make choices that suit them. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes because it centres the person’s experience.

Working online does not change the basic way Kerry works - he will collaborate with each person to find the right approach. Together they will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try a way forward and adjust it when needed. The process is shared and tailored to the individual's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick a way that fits their day. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can work if bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options aim to make counselling more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
