About me and my therapy practice
Hi I'm Kerry. Thank you for taking a look at my profile. I am a highly qualified, BACP registered and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor, educated with a Master’s degree from the University of Cambridge in Psychotherapeutic counselling. I use an integrative approach, which means that I can draw from different types of therapeutic theory to fit with your individual needs, rather than trying to fit you to the theory! I provide a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space, where you or your child can explore thoughts and feelings to begin to process difficulties that you might be having.
As well as working with adults, I also specialise in working with children, adolescents and their families. I have a lovely calm space in the south of Norfolk, where you can begin to explore and process any difficulties that you have at your own pace. With over 20 years of experience working therapeutically with children, young people and their families in all settings, I often use play and creative arts therapies alongside talking to support children to express and explore what is happening with, to and for them. I have extensive experience in working with Trauma, abuse, neurodiversity, such as ADHD and Autism, dyslexia, Anxiety, Bereavement, Child related issues, Depression, Loss, Self esteem. I can also support with parenting, Parent child relationships and whole families.
My personal interests are nature, gardening, friends and cooking home made cake!
Practice description
As my specialism is working with children and young people I find that young people often need a person outside of their family to help them feel understood and work through some of their feelings. Some of the difficulties are that they may have experienced trauma, bullying, difficulties with school, bereavement, anxiety, low mood and self-harm. My specialised training enables me to create a safe and nurturing space where children and adolescents can explore their feelings and experiences using various therapeutic techniques, including creative therapies such as play, sand and art. I'm dedicated to helping them build resilience and develop essential emotional skills that will help them to find more appropriate coping skills in the future.
In addition, I also work with parents and their children together. Parent-child therapy or whole family therapy can be useful if there have been difficulties with attachment, a family break up, parent-child conflict, family bereavement or trauma. I am trained in functional family therapy, dyadic developmental psychotherapy and Theraplay, all of which are therapeutic interventions which can help families better understand and communicate with each other, resulting in better calmer, relationships.
For me it is important that everyone feels that they are able to be their authentic self, and the master of their own lives, but sometimes we need a bit of help and reflection to achieve this and I hope to work alongside you and your family to get there.
