Accredited MNCPS

About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor having completed my Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in August 2024. 

I’m an accredited member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).

I have an enhanced DBS check on the update service.

Background

I have always had an interest in the human mind which is why I previously completed a degree in Psychology, focusing on health psychology.

I then completed a degree in Acupuncture and worked as an acupuncturist specialising in chronic illness and pain for many years. I have suffered from chronic pain myself for decades so I have a specialised interest in pain and illness. 

I have studied counselling for 5 years in total and I feel that I can bring the theory and practical skills i have learnt to life in the counselling room. 

Clients I work with

I am happy to work with adults over the age of 18. I have had good results with clients whom are both younger and older.

I offer a warm, safe environment for you as the client to be heard, valued and accepted.

How I deliver therapy

I offer sessions in-person or online through HT Counselling Services Ltd based in Bromsgrove.

I see most of my clients online and feel that I can build as strong a relationship online as in person. It is more flexible and a safer environment for some clients, especially younger clients who are looking for a more affordable option for counselling. 

Ethical practice

I have monthly supervision with a clinical supervisor who supports me in my professional and ethical practice.

I’m a member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and I follow their ethical framework and code of practice.

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.
