About me and my therapy practice
About me
I’m Kerrie Ann, a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and supervisor and an accredited member of the BACP. I trained at the Metanoia Institute in London.
Originally from Australia, I have lived in the UK for many years. My experience of different cultures and environments has shaped an open, warm and flexible approach to therapy.
How I work
I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the work, and I aim to create a space where you can be yourself without feeling judged.
I work collaboratively, listening carefully and offering a different perspective when helpful. Together, we can explore what is happening in your life, understand patterns and relationships, and find greater clarity around difficult decisions and choices.
I also support people navigating longer-term challenges, such as a demanding work environment, caring for an unwell family member, or supporting a child who is struggling. When we spend much of our time caring for others or managing responsibilities, it can be easy to lose sight of our own needs. Therapy can provide space to pause, reflect and find a healthier balance.
Experience
I have a background in education and extensive experience working with children, parents and teaching staff. This has given me an understanding of family dynamics, work-related stress and the pressures that can come with caring and responsibility.
You might consider counselling if you are feeling overwhelmed, facing difficult decisions, experiencing relationship or family difficulties, or simply want to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply.
My aim is to help you feel more able to navigate life with greater self-understanding, confidence and choice.
Practice description
My consultation work can be short term or longer term therapy, depending on what the need is. With talking based therapy, clients can feel more empowered to tackle life's difficulties, and more able to make balanced decisions.
I can help identify unhelpful patterns and negative thinking, and support clients to see difficult situations from different perspective.
I offer a warm and supportive space for you to talk, and to be heard. Together we can work through the issues that are causing you discomfort. Being brave enough to be curious about yourself, exploring how you are feeling and understanding yourself can be life-changing.
I have particular interest in:
. supporting parents struggling with their relationships with children
. providing young people with tools for such difficulties as low self-esteem, anxiety and social concerns
. working alongside teachers and other education professionals with the pressures of work
. working with carers
. relational issues
. supporting people living away from their families
. spiritual-related issues
. loss and bereavement
. pet loss
. work-induced stress
. health-related issues
. anxiety
. personal awareness and understanding/self esteem
