About me
Does anxiety feel like it's sitting on top of you, no matter how much you get done? Are you the one holding everything together for everyone else, even when it's costing you your sleep, your energy, and how you feel about yourself?
If that sounds familiar, your mind probably never really switches off, and the overthinking is exhausting you.
I'm Kerry, a counsellor in central Edinburgh and online. Counselling with me is a space to say the things you don't say out loud anywhere else. Together we can get curious about what's actually going on for you and what your busy mind is trying to tell you, then work out what to listen to, what to soften and what to let go.
I work with adults dealing with anxiety, overthinking, overwhelm and a harsh inner critic: people who are tired of being so hard on themselves and feel like they're constantly coming up short next to everyone else. Over time, the aim is a quieter mind and a kinder way of talking to yourself.
As an ADHD-informed counsellor, I also work with adults who have an ADHD diagnosis or who recognise ADHD traits in themselves and want to explore how to work with their brain rather than against it.
If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call and see if we're a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and work as an integrative counsellor. This means I draw on different therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT, tailoring our work to suit your needs.
Before starting my private practice, I gained clinical experience at CrossReach and Queen Margaret University, supporting clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions and stress.
I also hold qualifications in ADHD coaching and neurodiversity coaching, which deepen my understanding of the emotional impact of ADHD and inform how I work with neurodivergent clients.
I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling. Some people prefer to work towards a set timeframe, while others choose to keep it open-ended. Our work together is always guided by your pace and what feels most helpful for you.
