Kerry Jamison, BACP

Kerry Jamison works in an integrative way, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person's needs. She focuses on practical problem solving and building everyday coping skills. Kerry aims to help people feel steadier, more able to manage stress and anxiety, and clearer about next steps in relationships, work and life changes.

Kerry uses empathy and collaboration as the basis for sessions. She encourages people to talk through what is happening and then thinks alongside them about possible solutions. Sessions often include short-term strategies and longer-term work on patterns such as attachment, abandonment worries, or codependency.

She trained in psychology and completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours. Kerry also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Therapeutic Communication and a Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice. She has been a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, since 2016 and works with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression and stress.

Over four years of practice have included supporting people through bereavement, workplace problems and major life transitions. Kerry also offers help with issues such as addictions, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD, autism and eating or sleeping struggles. Her aim is to help people build practical skills they can use between sessions.

Kerry keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. She adapts techniques to fit how each person prefers to work, whether that means short practical tools or deeper exploration of past experiences and attachment patterns.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Many of the approaches Kerry uses are evidence-based and focus on practical change. One common technique helps people learn short-term coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress in daily life. These skills can include paced breathing, activity planning and simple behavioural experiments that are easy to try between sessions.

Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by looking at how past experiences shape current reactions. This work helps people recognise repeated behaviours such as codependency or fear of abandonment and try different ways of responding in relationships and important situations.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kerry works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferred pace. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support quicker check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio. These options help make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and everyday routines.
