Kerry Mulligan

I currently have availability for in person counselling on Mondays from 4.00pm to 8.00pm 

For remote counselling either online or on the telephone I have availability Sunday evening or Monday morning.

Hello and a warm welcome to my profile, my name is Kerry and I’m a BACP registered Person-Centred Counsellor, integrating CBT, Psychodynamic and Gestalt into my practice.

The essence of my counselling approach is one human, being fully present and available for another human in a psychologically safe, kind and empathic environment. It’s the act of truly listening to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and your inner world. 

Whether counselling support would be helpful to explore current events causing distress or to explore past negative experiences or worries about the future, you are not alone. I can provide a safe, confidential and non judgemental therapeutic relationship and offer single session, short term and long term therapy options online or in person.

My background:

Nearly 5 years experience working in the NHS providing onsite confidential pastoral and wellbeing support to front line health care professionals, to include extensive experience supporting around burn out, neurodiversity and work related stressors.

3 years experience spent training and working in the NHS in sexual health as an Associate Counsellor.

13 years working in educational settings providing pastoral support including mentoring, coaching, safeguarding and learning support.

Short courses:

I offer, short, medium or long term therapy. You are the expert on what is best for you and I am led by you. 

I also offer single session counselling. A safe space to explore personal or work related challenges, it can feel a huge relief to sense check and process your thoughts and feelings before approaching a difficult situation. I aim to be able to offer single sessions as soon as possible after being contacted.
