About Kerry

Kerry Deakin works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She draws on people’s strengths and treats them as experts in their own stories. Kerry is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of professional experience.

Kerry favours clear, practical conversations. She helps people talk through immediate problems and develop ways to manage day-to-day pressures. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can ease strain at home and work.

She has worked with issues such as infidelity, jealousy and the effects of sexual assault and abuse. Kerry also supports people dealing with personality disorder traits, discrimination and prejudice. She aims to make difficult topics easier to name and discuss.

In sessions Kerry listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and reactions, then try different responses. Work may include setting small goals, practising calmer ways to respond, and checking what helps between sessions.

Kerry’s style is practical and steady. She pays attention to safety and to how past experiences affect current relationships. People come away with clearer plans and everyday strategies to reduce stress and rebuild confidence.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote counselling

Many of Kerry’s methods are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different responses in everyday situations; this helps with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Another approach looks at current relationship patterns and interactions to change repeating conflicts and manage issues such as infidelity and jealousy. A further strand addresses the impact of past trauma and abuse by building practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options with the client and decide together which techniques suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative choice guides the structure and tasks used in sessions.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as these are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to join sessions from a quieter location without needing to travel, and to use phone or low-bandwidth options if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to suit remote delivery.
