Counselling Services

Counselling with Kerry is about building a relationship together so you can feel safe and secure talking about whatever is troubling you.  I truly believe that we generally have it within ourselves to work through most of our problems but occassionally we need a little extra support to sit alongside and be there for us.  There is something very precious and healing in simply being heard without any judgement.  Being able to tell your story without fear or worrying what the other person might think of you.  There is power and confidence in knowing that this space is there for you with the added benefit that the person sitting with you knows you can get through this and will help you to get there.

​

My training has enabled me to deal with my own difficulties and challenges in life so that it doesn't become part of your counselling journey and we can focus completely on what you bring.  I strive to make sure there is no power dynamic within the space we choose (therapy room, online or outdoors) and this time is completely about you.

​​

My aim is to provide a comforting, calm space where you feel able to let me in to your world and together we can walk through it.  You're free to bring a drink or a snack with you, curl up on the sofa and just talk or we can use the many different creative resources I have to help work through a particular problem.  I'm also able to arrange to meet you at a local park where we can 'walk and talk' or find a nice bench to sit on, providing on the weather of course and I also offer online sessions. People come to counselling for many different reasons and I've worked with lots of themes but sometimes it can also just be a safe place to offload or work through what you need to do to look after yourself.

 

I work with all ages and enjoy doing so but I have a real passion for working with teenagers and helping them to grow into the person they want to be.  I'm not shocked or fazed easily and there is often a lot of humour involved in these sessions.  Being creative during these sessions can often make sharing their difficulties easier and having their own space where they know they can literally say anything they want without judgement is very empowering for them. 

​

I'm always happy to have a small telephone chat with anyone thinking about counselling so if you've been mulling this over for a while, give me a call and lets have a conversation about what counselling might look like for you or your young person and how I can help with whatever you are dealing with.
