About me

Hello, thanks for stopping on my profile.

I would imagine you find yourself here after looking at quite a few other profiles, or you are just starting off your initial search for a counsellor. Whatever your situation, I'm sure you're just hoping that someone's profile speaks to you in some way.

I’m Kerry and I'm a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor working in Shoreham-by-Sea. I offer both individual and couples\relationship counselling.

Let me start by saying the most important part of counselling is how we work together. It must feel right, for both of us. You need to feel the person you are working with really gets you and empathises with your situation. Therapy is a big step; you’re realising you want to make changes to your life and that takes courage. Talking to a counsellor can open a completely different way of understanding yourself and how you live your life.

I have trained as an Integrative Counsellor, which means I understand many different counselling approach. I can adapt the way I work to best suit your needs. In our sessions we explore what is important to you right now without pressure or interruption. 

I find with most clients that relationships often come into the work. I offer couples counselling to those who are feeling their closest relationship has become disconnected. These sessions give both partners the opportunity to be heard. However, what is powerful, is the chance for you to really stop and listen and try to understand what your partner is communicate to you. Quite often what we say, it not necessarily what our partner hears. I will guide you both to explore these feelings without entering the same disagreement you’ve had time and time again. Working from an Attachment based theory, we can build trust again in the relationship and get through the defensiveness to find out what both of you really need from each other. 

I hope I've been able to give you some idea of what to expect from counselling and what I can offer, however, there are more details on my website, the link is above.

Many thanks

Kerry

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
