Kerri Wright

I am a highly experienced psychotherapist based in Exmouth, East Devon. I provide therapy for adults in person, online and on the telephone.

It is not easy reaching out to ask for help, but if you are looking on here then you have already taken an important first step in listening to yourself and what you need.  You may be feeling anxious, depressed or be having difficulty with a relationship.  Or you may wish to talk to someone outside of your family and friendship group about something you are struggling with.   Whatever it is that has brought you here to seek therapy, I would be happy to hear from you.

I am a qualified psychotherapist having trained for 5 years at a leading institution in London to Masters level.  I have over 14 years’ experience in a range of diverse environments from NHS settings to charities.  In addition I have over 20 years’ experience in healthcare and in health education.  My experience means that I have a wide range of skills and knowledge to draw upon and use in our work together.

I have worked in Occupational Health departments supporting people with anxiety, depression and bereavement as well as work-based issues such as work-based stress and grievances.  I was a member of the Counselling and Trauma team for Transport for London supporting staff with a range of mental health issues and traumatic incidents experienced as part of their work.

I have worked in a specialist NHS trauma team in London, offering psychotherapy to people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a bereavement team at a hospice, worked with firefighters across the UK and a charity supporting people from the LGBTQ+ community.  

I have also been a tutor for a local College, training people to become qualified counsellors.

I am an integrated psychotherapist which means that I weave together different therapeutic approaches to best support you.  I draw on a range of traditional and contemporary approaches to therapy.  

I provide face-to-face sessions in my practice as well as online and telephone sessions.  Our sessions would be 60 minutes long and would allow you the space and time to explore what is troubling you in a calm and supportive environment.  I offer short term therapy, where we agree a set number of sessions or more open ended work when we negotiate an ending together when that feels right.

Before starting therapy with me, we would meet for a consultation.  This is a 60 minute session that allows us to explore what is happening for you in depth and assess what support you need.  It includes considering what you would like to gain from therapy, looking at how we would work towards this and whether short or open ended work is required.  I would suggest a plan of support for you moving forward as part of this consultation.  

I welcome email enquiries and am happy to answer any questions or queries you might have.

My fees are £55 for a 60 minute session.

I am committed to providing accessible counselling for people who need this and therefore do have some low cost sessions available. The minimum fee for low cost counselling sessions is £40.  Please clearly state that you are looking for low cost counselling in your initial inquiry.

I am also an affiliate counsellor for Workplace Options and Health Assured Employee Assistance Programmes.  If your employer uses one of these EAPs then you maybe able to have sessions with me paid for through your EAP. Contact your work EAP counselling service and request to be referred to me.
