Her background includes work with bereavement and hospice related issues, as well as long-term conditions such as chronic pain, illness and disability. She also notes experience with caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, and intellectual disability concerns.
Kerry lists additional focus areas such as attachment and communication problems, guilt and shame, infidelity and family problems. She also works with isolation, loneliness and questions about life purpose and meaning.
Sessions are carried out in English and Kerry accepts international clients. Practical details about booking are handled through the platform process, where clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Kerry works with Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs time to explore feelings and feel heard without pressure to perform.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical steps and identifying what is already working. That approach suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented conversations about change.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Kerry will discuss your goals, preferences and needs and together you will decide which approach or mix of approaches to use. This is a collaborative choice that can be reviewed as you go.
Practical benefits of having counselling online include fitting sessions into a busy routine and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to attend regularly. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that suit different daily schedules. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking to make sure they fit your circumstances.
