Back in the nineties when I went to my first counselling session when it seemed the only option left that I could face. In the UK back then ‘therapy’ was almost taboo and I was scared to tell a soul. Thank goodness I quickly felt safe enough to confide in my counsellor and to share with her my deepest fears for my sanity, my marriage, my high pressure job and indeed, my future (if there was to be one). I can’t remember too much about those sessions now but I always felt better just for having shared. Nowadays through counselling I help people to find and to love their inner selves, to handle whatever life throws at them and to grow.

I’m Kerry Batten, a registered BACP therapist with a psychodynamic approach. I work with individuals, couples, and those in other relationships, supporting a deeper understanding of how past experiences can influence present emotions, behaviours, and relationships. I offer a safe, reflective space to explore difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma (including sexual trauma) and grief. In our work together we may begin to notice unconscious patterns of feeling, thinking and relating, and how these show themselves both within yourself and in your relationships with others.

Sometimes it can feel as though you are playing a role for others rather than being your genuine self. You might feel overwhelmed, constantly trying to keep up, or moving between stress, fatigue and burnout. You may be exploring ADHD, autism or AuDHD, waiting for an assessment, or adjusting to a diagnosis and trying to make sense of what it means for you.
I support neurodivergent adults and young people to understand how they work and find practical ways of navigating daily life that actually fit them, helping to reduce overwhelm and feel more in control.

Perhaps you are feeling lost, in a 'strange place' or no longer feel yourself to be the person you once were. You'd like to understand why this is and talk about your difficult feelings with someone who is non-judgmental and who can help you better understand them.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together.
Maybe you’re feeling anxious, lost, low, or burnt out — unsure who you are anymore or how to get back on track, to live life fully. Perhaps you’re navigating grief or bereavement, or carrying a loss that still feels heavy. Loss can take many forms: a person, a role, a sense of self.
You might not have the words for it yet — just a sense that something needs to shift. You want clarity, relief, space to breathe, and a way back to yourself. That’s enough to begin. You don’t need to have it all figured out — just a willingness to take the first step.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by mental health challenges and wondering whether you can enjoy a life of quality where you're in control rather than the mind bully. You're hoping for a compassionate, honest non- judgemental therapist with lived experience and clinical expertise.
You want a safe space to unmask and be authentic, whilst being supported to face your fears. You're hoping for a collaborative journey where your therapist is a true partner, guiding you through setbacks empowering you to understand your experiences and work towards recovery - not necessarily "free" of the struggles, but maybe a "little bit less" of them.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or weighed down by depression after a difficult life event or relationship struggle? Perhaps you’re stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand — reacting strongly, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You don’t have to keep navigating this alone.
