About Kerry
Kerry Deakin is a counsellor with 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties and low self-esteem. Kerry aims to make the first step feel manageable and will sit alongside people as they begin to make change.
She views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for the strengths already present. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. Kerry helps people notice what gets in the way and try new ways of coping.
Her work often covers sensitive areas such as infidelity, jealousy, personality difficulties, and sexual assault and abuse. She also addresses issues around prejudice and discrimination when these affect wellbeing. Kerry offers space to talk these experiences through and to consider how they shape current challenges.
In practice she aims for clear, straightforward sessions where goals are agreed together. People can expect a calm, respectful presence and a focus on what they want to change. Kerry supports parents who are feeling overwhelmed and those wanting different ways to manage family stress.
Over time she helps people build on what already works for them. The emphasis is on steady steps and practical change, not sudden fixes. Kerry encourages people to use their strengths while trying new approaches to old problems.
How evidence-based approaches can work online
Kerry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps and building on strengths. One common approach helps people learn ways to manage anxiety and stress through simple coping tools and behavioural adjustments. Another approach focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and trying different responses to improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry works collaboratively to decide what techniques fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try methods together in sessions, and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school runs or caring responsibilities. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is tight and avoids travel time on busy days.
