About me
Welcome, my name is Kerri.
I understand life can feel overwhelming when emotions are heavy and the path forward isn’t clear. After difficult or unresolved experiences, it’s common to feel lost, disconnected, or unsure where to turn. In these moments, having a safe and confidential space to gently explore what’s happening for you can be deeply supportive.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and finding the right counsellor isn’t always easy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I work in a trauma-informed, client-centred way, adapting to your unique needs and moving at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you're navigating the impact of past experiences or facing challenges in the present, we can begin by making sense of what feels most important for you right now.
I work extensively with relational trauma — pain that occurs within close, trusted relationships. Experiences such as betrayal, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or ongoing relational strain can deeply affect your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. You don’t need to define your experiences as “trauma” to reach out; if something feels painful or confusing, that is enough. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a commitment to helping you feel understood rather than judged.
At the start of our work together, we’ll focus on building a sense of safety and clarity. We can explore what you need from therapy, what feels supportive, and what you hope might change. I value your autonomy throughout the process and welcome open feedback, ensuring our work unfolds in a way that feels collaborative and steady.
To help you get a sense of whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute phone or online consultation. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for how we might work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Integrative counsellor, meaning I can work in a variety of ways and adapt my approach to best suit you as an individual.
I am trained to work creatively and somatically and may offer these approaches within our sessions. While this may not be for everyone and there is no obligation to work in this way, these approaches can support the exploration of feelings or experiences that may be difficult to express verbally, and help foster a deeper connection with the body and emotions.
My professional background includes working in helping roles within charitable organisations and providing counselling support within school settings. I've worked in private practice for a number of years, I have focused on working with trauma, supporting clients with experiences such as childhood adversity, relational difficulties, bereavement, and major life transitions
