About Kerry

Kerry Roberts works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, bipolar and ADHD using a client-centred approach and structured therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in the roles described below.

Kerry draws on practical methods that help people manage symptoms and develop everyday coping skills. She uses client-centred conversations alongside CBT techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours, and DBT skills to manage emotions and distress. Solution-focused work is used to set clear short-term goals when that fits the person's needs.

Her practice includes work on attachment issues, codependency and workplace difficulties. Kerry also supports people who face obsessive or compulsive behaviours, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorder presentations including bipolar. She helps people address guilt, shame and self-harm concerns through steady, structured sessions.

Before moving into this counselling role Kerry's background included nursing and advocacy in mental health settings where she worked with adults experiencing complex needs. That experience informs how she plans and adapts interventions over time. Kerry aims to match approaches to what each client brings to a session and to agreed goals.

Sessions focus on clear techniques and practical steps as well as space to talk through painful experiences. Kerry encourages small changes that can make daily life easier and helps people build skills they can use between sessions.

How Kerry uses her approaches in online sessions

Kerry commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and working at the client's pace, useful for discussing traumatic experiences and personal stresses. CBT offers structured tools to identify thought patterns and test new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

DBT provides practical skills for handling strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions; this can be useful for self-harm urges, intense mood swings and anger management. Kerry will talk with each person about which of these approaches fits their goals, and she treats choosing the method as a collaborative process so work reflects the client's needs and preferences.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work, study or family routines and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Kerry aims to use approaches that fit with everyday life, helping clients practise skills between sessions and make steady progress without big disruptions to their schedule.
