Kerie Hammatt

Please feel free to drop me a text, email or call. I may not answer straightaway but please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi, I am Kerie. I am a counsellor and supervisor with more than 10 years experience. I offer counselling to children, young people, adults and couples.

I work as a school counsellor in mainstream schools and at an alternative provision.

I hold a full DBS check to reassure parents of children and vulnerable adults. All counselling for young people is carried out with the complete agreement of the young person. 

I am also qualified to work with adults too and have experience in various settings.

Counselling is a safe place where you can come and talk in a confidential space and not have the worry that you may be judged. 

My job is to listen to your worries, problems, anxieties and stresses, to help you understand better what is happening. I then support you in finding new coping mechanisms that allow you to deal with life in a much more positive way. I do not judge you or your situation. You will find that you are amongst millions of people that feel, or have felt, the same way as you and I use various techniques to help you understand what is going on and find solutions to your issues.

During our first session I will ask you to complete a form with your contact details and give you an agreement to sign. This will include my cancellation policy, GDPR, my insurance details and my professional membership to the BACP.

Supervision provides a time and place for you to consider anything and everything regarding your client work confidentiality and transparently in a trusting, accepting environment, under the guidance of a professional code of ethics. This is a working relationship to suit your needs as a counsellor or supervisor, to always protect the best interests of your clients.

It is a time to also look at your own self awareness and to possibly recognise if there are any unresolved issues in your personal life that could transfer into your client work. This could compromise your future therapeutic alliance with them.

Supervision is an ethical requirement where ethics, equality and diversity, boundaries and self development are explored to enhance the therapeutic practice. 

I work creatively as this can enable counsellors to work with subconscious processes which often helps movement on complex issues.

We will look at my supervision agreement and if happy complete personal details.
