Jacqueline Kerr

Please contact me for my current availability.

My name is Jacqueline I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, welcome to my profile page.

I understand how overwhelming it can be to go through different therapist profiles and to choose one that feels right for you.

Life is a journey, but it is a journey without a map and at times we can struggle to find our way.This can be due to a many reasons, such as: uncertainty, anxiety, stress, loss, endings, bereavement, relationships, hopelessness, unfulfillment or just a general feeling of unease or stuckness.

I have an FdSc in Counselling awarded by the University of Greenwich. Initially trained in humanistic modalities, I have added to this skill set through additional training and work in an Integrative way. I believe in the uniqueness of humanity and that there is no one therapy approach that suits all clients. My aim is to incorporate both my training and experience to provide a client-centred, individualised approach.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgement.I work in a relational way which means that I believe in the strength of the therapeutic relationship being a facilitating factor in the outcome of therapy. I provide and incorporate a range of techniques from my training and experience to build a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate, honest, and confidential space to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours enabling you to develop awareness of self and those around you. 

  Prior to setting up private practice I worked as a counsellor in a palliative care setting.  This included working with primary carers and individuals experiencing life limiting illness, anticipatory grief, bereavement and loss. I also have experience as a volunteer counsellor in a Young Persons Counselling Agency, working with young people and primary carers with a variety of presenting issues.

I offer concessionary rates for counselling students, please contact me for further information.

I offer Face-to-Face counselling from an office in Farnham and also online and telephone counselling.  

I have undertaken additional training to provide online counselling and am a member of the Association of Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO).

I offer a free initial online Zoom or telephone call (approximately 15/20 minutes). This will give us a sense of whether we can work together and an opportunity to let me know your hopes for counselling and for you to ask any questions about the way that I work.
