About me
Hello, my name is Kerry, and I am a Consultant Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges.
I understand that taking the first step toward counselling can feel daunting. You may feel anxious or unsure—but making that initial move is often the beginning of gaining clarity and understanding about your thoughts and feelings.
I believe that with the right counsellor, you can build a strong, trusting relationship that helps you move forward and find hope—your light at the end of the tunnel.
Why not come for an initial appointment and see how it feels? During this first session, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, talk about what you’re hoping to gain from counselling, and decide whether it’s the right time for you—and whether I’m the right person to support you.
I offer a friendly, safe, and confidential counselling service where you can talk openly about yourself and your feelings in a relaxed, supportive environment. My aim is to walk alongside you as you work through your difficulties—helping you gain clarity, develop insight, and take meaningful steps forward in your life.
While I have specialist experience in child bereavement counselling, I work with individuals facing a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems and work-related stress.
Many issues can affect not just individuals but also their relationships. I offer couples counselling to support both partners in working through difficulties together—often helping to resolve issues more effectively and quickly.
My counselling office is located near the prison in Lincoln, with free parking and disabled access available.
I am a registered accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within its ethical framework to ensure safe, professional, and compassionate care.
What is Counselling?
Counselling is a supportive process that helps individuals explore, understand, and work through their thoughts, feelings, or behaviours in a safe and confidential space. It can be a way to bring about meaningful change or simply to gain clarity and insight.
You’ll be talking with a professionally qualified counsellor—someone who is trained to listen without judgment and who receives regular professional supervision to ensure safe, ethical, and effective practice.
What to Expect from Counselling Sessions
Each counselling session typically lasts for 50 minutes. During our first meeting, you'll have the opportunity to decide if you feel comfortable working with me. Together, we’ll discuss the number of sessions that may be helpful for your needs—this is often around six sessions, though it may be fewer or more depending on your situation. We’ll regularly review how you're feeling and make adjustments as needed.
You are, of course, free to end counselling at any time.
If you'd like to arrange a session or need more information, feel free to call or email me. I aim to see clients within 48 hours of their initial enquiry.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
