About Kerry

Kerry Deakin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She brings 13 years of professional experience to conversations that can feel difficult or overwhelming.

Kerry works from the belief that each person knows their own story and already holds strengths that can aid change. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Kerry focuses on practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, while also exploring patterns that keep problems repeating. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Kerry uses methods aimed at helping people understand their responses, build coping skills and process experiences that continue to cause distress. She explains things plainly and sets realistic goals with the person she is supporting. Kerry has spent over a decade working with a wide range of concerns, including jealousy, infidelity, sexual assault and prejudice-related stress.

That experience informs how she tailors sessions and safety planning when needed. People who choose Kerry can expect a calm, respectful space to talk, and practical suggestions to try between sessions. Work is collaborative - the person sets priorities and Kerry offers structure and tools to help meet them.

How Kerry uses therapeutic approaches online

Many of Kerry's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and support recovery. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress - teaching breathing, grounding and activity planning to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routine. Another approach helps people process traumatic or distressing experiences by gradually working through memories and responses in a paced way, so distress becomes more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options and try different techniques to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process where goals, pace and methods are agreed together, and adjustments are made as understanding grows.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexible ways to connect. Video is useful for in-depth sessions where non-verbal cues matter. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
