Everybody’s experiences and responses toward the unpredictability of life, differ greatly. Having a confidential space, that’s just yours, where you can focus on yourself, your life experiences, or your thoughts and feelings, can be incredibly transformative, provide a sense of relief, clarity, renewed optimism and hopefulness. I’m far from a ‘detached analytical cold figure’ in the room, but a person of warmth, an ‘old soul’ and ‘down to earth attitude’, whom respects individual uniqueness, circumstances and paths in life. I work with you to find the answers/solutions that you are looking for; not to analyse, or dictate to you.

You’ve always been the capable one. High functioning, self-aware, often the person others turn to for advice. You understand yourself pretty well, but knowing why you feel this way doesn’t always stop the same patterns repeating. You might overthink relationships, struggle to trust or fully let people in, become attached to people who can’t quite meet your needs, or feel exhausted from always being the strong one. I work with women experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, attachment and relationship difficulties, trauma, motherhood and big life transitions.

Hi my name is Kerry, Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. You may be here after experiencing a big stress or trauma, you may be wanting to explore past experiences, or perhaps you just need a safe space to talk and be heard. Whatever the reason you have decided to start therapy, we can work on this together. By providing a safe, non-judgemental and warm environment, we can explore this together so that you feel heard and understood but most importantly, that you have a better understanding of yourself and your needs, helping you work towards your goals, whatever they may be.

Are you anxious, low, or unsettled without fully understanding why? Struggling to concentrate, questioning your thoughts, feelings or actions, or preoccupied with what others might think? Anxiety and depression can be understandable responses to people-pleasing patterns or emotionally confusing relationships, where self-confidence has been gradually worn down. Even choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming when trust has been shaken. You want clarity, emotional stability, to identify your needs, build firm boundaries, and assert them in a way that others respect. Sessions are available both in person and online.

Hi I’m Catherine, Clinical Psychologist. I work with individuals struggling with their mood, anxiety, self-esteem, coping or in dealing with the past. I aim to offer a friendly, non-judgemental space, where we can get stuck in to understanding how you tick, to work through the problems you bring.

I work with anxiety disorders (inc. anxiety, panic, phobia, stress), PTSD, depression, ADHD and ASD.

Many of my clients are adults who are neurodivergent or living with the impact of trauma. They might struggle with emotional dysregulation, cPTSD symptoms, anxiety, or low self-worth, often feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed by daily life. Some are managing ADHD or autism alongside a history of difficult experiences. What they want is to feel seen and accepted, to better understand themselves, and to develop strategies that bring stability, confidence, and self-kindness, while building healthier relationships and a stronger sense of identity..

Life is tough. We all experience loss and difficulties along the way but sometimes those things can feel unmanageable or overwhelming. Maybe the situation is just too big, or maybe it's an accumulation of things that have built up over time that mean you feel you need some therapeutic support. As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, trained in Person-Centred, CBT and Attachment Theory with a particular specialism in working with traumatic loss and bereavement I can provide an empathic space for you to work through your current issues and to explore how your past may be informing your responses in the here and now.

My goal is to help and support you to develop healthy coping strategies, become more self-aware and experience personal growth. I offer tailor-made therapy that is as individual and unique as you are. Therapy shouldn't just benefit you whilst in session but continue to support you outside of the sessions too. This is achieved by using a combination of talking therapy, worksheets and practical exercises. You can always call me if you are struggling in between sessions. Do you invest more time, love and attention in others than yourself? Then perhaps it is time for you to invest in yourself.

I work with individuals who feel disconnected from their authentic selves - perhaps you're feeling stuck, lacking direction, or missing purpose in your life. You might be struggling with past experiences that still affect you today, finding it hard to stay motivated, or feeling uncertain about your future path. Many of my clients initially believe they are the problem, carrying the weight of their struggles internally. If you recognise yourself in these words, know that you're not alone, and that what you're experiencing deserves to be heard and understood.
