About me and my therapy practice
My name is Kerry Batten and I am a counsellor offering face-to-face sessions in Bromham, as well as national work via telephone and Zoom. I work with individuals, couples, and those in other relationships.
I specialise in supporting individuals with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, work-related stress, trauma (including sexual trauma), health-related issues, and relationship concerns.
I work with couples and those in other relationships who may be struggling with communication, patterns in relationships, difficulties with infidelity, intimacy, separation, conflict, or the impact of past relationships on present life.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space in which we can explore together your past and present experiences, your thoughts, and your feelings, with the aim of developing fresh perspectives, personal growth, and improved wellbeing.
I offer the opportunity to reflect on the difficulties, pain, or problems you may be experiencing with someone outside of your day-to-day life who is trained to listen and support. Together, we will explore your situation in a way that may lead to new understanding and greater clarity about yourself.
I hold an enhanced DBS check, full professional indemnity insurance, and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Practice description
I offer face to face sessions from a dedicated consulting room at my home in Bromham (Bedford) and online or telephone sessions nationwide.
My first session
Choosing a counsellor can sometimes be a challenging or even daunting experience.
I recognise how important finding the right counsellor is so I offer a free no obligation 15 minute call free of charge.
If we decide to work together our initial session will allow us the opportunity to begin to get to know each other in a comfortable and confidential space. I will ask some questions about what has brought you to counselling at this time, how you are feeling now and any hopes you have for the work we might do together.
