How Kerry's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy is straightforward and focused on the person's experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to help them clarify feelings and make choices that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often suits worries, low mood, sleep problems and stress-management tasks.

Kerry will work with each person to find the best fit. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a better option when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments and offer flexible ways to keep continuity between sessions.
