About me
Hi, I’m Kerry, a Cognitive behavioural therapist with a special interest in helping people with anxiety disorders like OCD, generalised anxiety disorder, panic and PTSD. I know how exhausting and overwhelming these conditions can be, how they can make you feel stuck or like you’re constantly fighting against yourself. My goal is to help you find a way through, with warmth, understanding, and a good dose of practicality.
I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and listens (though I do a lot of that too!). I believe in honest, real conversations. If something isn’t working, we’ll talk about it. If you need a nudge in a different direction, I’ll gently challenge you. But above all, I care deeply about the people I work with, and I’ll always meet you where you are, without judgment.
My approach is straightforward and grounded. I don’t believe in overcomplicating things—therapy should feel like a conversation, not a lecture. Together, we’ll figure out what works for you, whether that’s understanding the roots of your anxiety, learning new tools to manage it, or just finding a little more peace in your day-to-day life.
If you’re feeling ready to make a change, I’d love to help. Let’s work together to untangle the anxiety and help you feel more like you again.
Finding the right therapist is very important in this journey —they need to be right for your needs. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation so you can get to know me and see if we are a good fit. From there, we’ll meet regularly, explore your background, and practice techniques to help you manage life’s challenges.
I never take a one-size-fits-all approach which means:
CBT techniques tailored specifically to your needs and goals, rather than a generic approach
EMDR therapy for processing trauma and difficult life experiences
Additional evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and mindfulness
I offer 50-minute confidential sessions for adults (18+). Anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, trauma, depression—you name it, we’ll tackle it. I offer face to face sessions in Leicestershire or online video sessions.
