How Kerry’s approaches work online
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to reduce the hold that distressing memories have on day-to-day life. In practice this means gently helping people name their experiences, manage strong reactions and develop ways to feel safer in their routines. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. Sessions are led by what the person brings, with the counsellor reflecting and supporting personal insight. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals that can change a situation in a few sessions rather than reworking every detail of the past.Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options with the client and together decide what feels right based on needs, goals and personal preference. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when less bandwidth is available or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
