About me

For over 10 years I have supported children, young people, adults, families and communities in various settings. I have volunteered and worked within church communities, youth groups, schools, private and charitable counselling settings.
I currently work for a charity part time providing therapeutic interventions in schools and sixth forms for children, young people, families and school employees. I also work privately part time, providing therapeutic support to individuals of all ages. I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their ethical framework.

Individual work (Adults)

I have an integrative humanistic approach when working with adults that combines a range of therapeutic modalities. I believe every individual is unique and one approach may not suit all, therefore I work with clients according to their personality and needs, ensuring I can provide the best support I can. I offer a friendly, non-judgemental, safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and any issues you are dealing with.

Individual work (CYP)

I take a similar approach when working with children or young people where I believe each individual is different and will require a tailored approach to meet their needs. This can be similar to adult work where a child/young person wishes to talk and explore their feelings however it can also involve other creative methods such as play, arts and crafts. When working with children I meet with parents/caregivers prior to the therapy to understand their goals as well as important background information, as the therapy continues I am happy to review the work with the parents/caregivers and the frequency of this can be discussed in the initial meeting.

Clients I work with

I work with clients for the time they need, whether that is short term or long term.

My therapist was brilliant at listening and supporting me through the counselling process. She was professional but warm and approachable and it felt very natural talking to her. I would certainly go back to see her again.
~ Client
Counselling has really helped me through a difficult time after experiencing challenges. I feel the sessions have helped me get back to my old self and I am feeling much more positive about the future and my journey ahead.
~ Client
It is continuing to make a difference to me. I am still processing the ways in which Debbie supported me to begin to face things in my own way and dare to try and make decisions I needed to make, including facing my fears and not allowing them to overwhelm me.
~ Client
Emma worked so well with my son and helped him to cope so much better with a very difficult year. She listened and gave practical advice, which was just what he needed.
~ Client
Exemplary - so supportive. Client centred, compassionate and attentive. Built a strong trusting relationship. Responsive to when/what I was struggling with and the emotional states I brought to sessions. I felt safe and secure very quickly.
~ Client
The therapist was very professional and understanding to my situation and provided a safe space for me to express my feelings. I feel in a better place after having sessions.
~ Client
As someone who had never had counselling sessions before I was sceptical if it was going to be beneficial to me, however after having some sessions with Kerry I was able to unload my thoughts which has greatly eased my situation and thoughts.
~ Client
Really supportive, positive, helpful and it had a huge impact on my life. Thanks again to Klaudia, she was amazing.

Using the strategies you have taught me and understanding where my anger is coming from, has really helped me to become a better person to be around. I’m no longer angry all the time!
~ Client
Your counselling sessions really helped to get me through a difficult period and I now feel in a much better place and able to think about moving on with my life.
~ Client
Thank you so much again for all the help you gave me, it gave me the ability to figure out how to fix my issues by myself, which takes a big weight off my shoulders.
~ Client
I've shared things with you that i had never shared with anyone - testament to your unconditional acceptance of me.​
~ Client
There have been some hard times in the months since we ended counselling, but I remembered the things we discussed and I got through lots of different challenges thanks to you.
~ Client
Thank you so much for all your hard work and support these past two years. It is so greatly appreciated.
~ Client
Accessible, supportive, compassionate and wise service which responded to me when I needed to be heard and has helped me find the way forward. Thank you!
~ Client
Counselling has helped me control anger linked to anxiety, focus in self care and helped strengthen my relationship with my children.
~ Client
I'm so glad I have you to come to as a supervisor. You help me trust in my processes and I trust your judgment of them! A great big thank you! You are a real steadfast influence on my practice.
