Hello,
my name is Kerry

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor working with adults and adolescents from my practice in the lovely village of Codicote in Hertfordshire.

Whether you are in crisis, suffering with depression or anxiety, or generally just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to help. Talking therapy gives you the space to express your thoughts and feelings without judgement or criticism. By working in an open-ended or time-limited way, we can explore the challenges you face, developing the tools to build your self-esteem so you can independently overcome any future emotional obstacles.

As a counsellor, I pride myself on being warm and approachable, always maintaining confidentiality and working ethically. If you have any questions, please reach out and get in touch. To suffer in silence will keep you in a position of feeling alone.

JOCA (Just One Click Away)

I am a part of the counselling team for the charity JOCA.

Their mission is to create a better understanding of and to de-stigmatise mental health and mental well-being amongst the men, women and children players and members of Welwyn Rugby Club.

I’m proud to be a part of JOCA as it’s important to normalise mental health issues. Just because you’re a man, you don’t have to ‘man up’ and ‘try alone’. JOCA promotes wellbeing and encourages people to not suffer in silence.
