About me
Hi, I'm Kerry. Thanks for visiting my profile.
**Free 30 Minute Intro Call** It's important you feel we're a good match and an introductory call is a great way for you get a feel of who I am and how we can work together based on your needs.
How I Work
Therapy should fit in with your life. I'm here to help support you and that means working together on the best approach for your well-being and mental health. It can be difficult opening up, but it can also be the first step to the life you want.
I believe therapy should be as individual as you. As an Integrative therapist, I include exploration around attachment styles, values, core beliefs, current behaviours and your relationships.
Whether we are looking at your past, present or working towards a goal in the future, we can do so together in a way that is safe, practical and above all, at the pace that is comfortable for you.
I work with many issues, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- OCD
- Bereavement
- ADHD
- Suicidal thoughts
- Low Self-Esteem
- Addiction
- Family Issues
- Burnout
- Work-related Stress / Anxiety
What To Expect From Your First Session
If you decide to go ahead, our first session will be to assess your needs and whether we both feel comfortable working together.
It is very much a collaborative relationship and one you have the freedom to decide whether you wish to proceed with or not.
Where I Work
I have therapy rooms in:
- Leigh-on-Sea
- Rochford
Both rooms have ample parking and easy street access.
Outdoor Therapy / Walk and Talk
Using the local woods, parks or beaches we can engage in the natural environments around us to help regulate your emotions and body. There are so many benefits to being outdoors for your therapy sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) as well as the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) .
Over the past 4 years I have worked with clients covering a range of mental health concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Bereavement, ADHD, Suicidal thoughts, Low Self-Esteem, Eating Disorders, Addiction, Family Issues, Burnout, Work-related Stress and many other issues faced in their lives.
My qualifications and training include:
- Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
- Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling
- Diploma in Couples and Family Therapy
- CPCAB Walk and Talk Therapy
I'm also a trained Life Coach and incorporate these skills into my practice. If you feel you have a particular problem or issue and want a clear pathway forward, we can tailor sessions to incorporate these elements.
If you’re not sure, we can discuss this together and work out what is the right way forward for you.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
