About Kerry

Kerry Deakin offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and low self-esteem. She also focuses on issues such as infidelity, jealousy, personality disorder traits, prejudice and discrimination, and sexual assault and abuse. Kerry works with each person to identify what matters most and to find practical, manageable steps forward.

Kerry emphasises that clients are the experts in their own lives. She uses that perspective to build on existing strengths and to make sense of difficult experiences.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at making small changes that add up to real relief over time. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Kerry listens carefully, asks clear questions, and offers ideas that clients can try between sessions.

She keeps language simple and avoids jargon so conversations stay useful and focused. Kerry has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs how she frames concerns and plans ongoing work with clients.

People who come to Kerry often want support that fits around busy lives. She offers a practical way to talk through painful events, rebuild confidence, and address relationship strains. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to handle life day to day.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Kerry lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches and online therapy options

Evidence-based techniques are used to make sense of distress and to support change. Cognitive approaches focus on how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and help people try new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed ways of working pay attention to how past harm affects current feelings and relationships and provide step-by-step support to process distress and regain control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses. Clients play an active role in deciding priorities and testing what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing rather than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
