About me
The world can feel unsafe and uncertain at times, and our difficulties overwhelming. If you are struggling or in distress please know that you are not alone; help and support is available for you.
My name is Kerry Cusack and I am an integrative humanistic therapist. I qualified as a counsellor in 2018 and have over five years of post-qualification experience with a broad range of clients and presenting issues. I work with clients on a one-to-one basis and facilitate reflective practice groups.
I wholeheartedly believe in empowering my clients to seek out the answers and truths they need and are ready for, to overcome challenges faced, and connect to the courage to work through pain; sometimes pain that may have been held for many years. I draw upon different models of counselling to suit individual needs while keeping the relationship between myself and my clients at the heart of my practice. I incorporate elements of CBT and TA (Transactional Analysis) as appropriate and work creatively to help clients reach new insights.
When given a safe and supportive environment I believe that we all have the strength and resources we need within us, and my aim and commitment to my clients is to facilitate this journey by promoting a warm, non-judgmental and non-threatening space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in safety. I will be alongside you each step of the way.
I have a Foundation Degree in Counselling and I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I work with both adults and young people (from 12 years old) and have experience of working with many issues, including the following:
· Anxiety
· Panic attacks
· OCD
· Depression
· Neurodiversity
· Shame
· Low self esteem
· Bereavement
· Trauma
· Abuse

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.
