About me
MBA
My name is Kerry Batten and I am a counsellor offering face-to-face sessions in Bromham, as well as national work via telephone and Zoom. I work with individuals, couples, and those in other relationships.
I specialise in supporting individuals with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, work-related stress, trauma (including sexual trauma), health-related issues, and relationship concerns.
I work with couples and those in other relationships who may be struggling with communication, patterns in relationships, difficulties with infidelity, intimacy, separation, conflict, or the impact of past relationships on present life.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space in which we can explore together your past and present experiences, your thoughts, and your feelings, with the aim of developing fresh perspectives, personal growth, and improved wellbeing.
I offer the opportunity to reflect on the difficulties, pain, or problems you may be experiencing with someone outside of your day-to-day life who is trained to listen and support. Together, we will explore your situation in a way that may lead to new understanding and greater clarity about yourself.
I hold an enhanced DBS check, full professional indemnity insurance, and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
