Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi my name is Kerry-Jo, I am an accredited Psychotherapist and I am based in the UK. My counselling approach is unique, effective and creative; I use a fusion of Psychology, Humanistic Client Centred Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.
Each client is an individual and I adapt my approach according to client need, for example I may focus on CBT techniques for a client with anxiety; or it may be more relevant to bring in wellbeing and motivational techniques, visualisation and NLP for another. I generally work to a short term framework and have a proven track record to quickly establish a therapeutic relationship of trust; fostering profound, enduring change with minimal dropout rates.
I have experience working with diverse clients and diverse age ranges. I have worked as a Children’s Counsellor in a primary and secondary school and as a Counsellor in a busy GP surgery. I am currently employed as a University Student Counsellor and concurrently run my own successful private psychotherapy practice where I focus on individual clients as well as creating and running bespoke workshops on wellbeing.
I am especially drawn to empowering those who have lost their voice. I have three years’ experience of working in the community as a one to one Mental Health Recovery Worker. This training has given me a deep and invaluable understanding of mental health conditions, knowledge which enriches my day to day practice and enables me to be far-reaching and diverse.
My counselling is inclusive and unconditional. Regardless of qualification or experience, I believe the most important qualities I bring to you is that I am a warm, grounded, empathetic individual who is non-judgmental, I see the humanity in everyone and their potential, regardless of any label attached to them.
I really look forward to working with you

Many people wonder whether online therapy can deliver meaningful results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, evidence shows that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is video calls, telephone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach support from wherever is most convenient.
All therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed it is possible to switch to another practitioner. Online therapy provides accessible pathways to professional support while preserving the same core therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face care.
