Kerry Sheffield

I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor who believes in providing a warm, non-judgemental and secure environment in which a trusting relationship between client and therapist can be built. Together we will identify your needs and work towards finding positive solutions.

It is important to find the right counsellor; I therefore offer a free initial consultation to enable you to assess whether you feel we could work together and whether my approach is suitable for you.

I attend regular supervision sessions in order that I adhere to good practice and I work to the Ethical code of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy)

I currently run my own private counselling practice from home and my client work has covered a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, low self esteem and developmental trauma. I have had previous experience of working with various agencies including working with carers, counselling in a college setting as well as working for a charity supporting those affected by sight loss

I have several years experience of teaching as a Lead counselling tutor in a college in Winchester and as a primary tutor on the degree course.

I have a foundation degree in Humanistic counselling based on Transactional Analysis and a Masters in TA Psychotherapy. I am also a Certified Transactional Analyst. I attend regular training workshops and courses as part of my continued professional development. 

Individuals: Each counselling session is 50 minutes long at a cost of £50

I offer a free initial session of 30 minutes

I offer an initial session which is for half an hour and is free of charge. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and to get a feel for how I work and a chance for me to understand what you would like to gain from therapy. Once we have both decided that we would like to work together we will arrange our first session. This will include some time to talk so we can begin to build our relationship and I will ask some assessment questions to gain insight into your circumstances and experiences
