Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Kerry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting issue. She draws on cognitive and skills-based strategies that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, develop practical coping skills, and respond differently to stress and anxiety. She also uses trauma-aware methods aimed at helping people process distressing experiences, strengthen resilience, and restore a sense of safety and control. Where relationships are central, Kerry employs relational and attachment-informed work to explore patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kerry works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. She discusses goals, preferences, and practical needs and adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to access support around work, family, or other commitments. These options allow continuity of care and can help people maintain progress even when life is busy or travel is difficult.
