About Kerry
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. Kerry Deakin helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. She also focuses on infidelity, jealousy, personality disorders, prejudice and discrimination, and sexual assault and abuse.
Kerry works from the view that people know their own stories and that their strengths can help them move forward. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people break problems into small, manageable steps. She encourages practical changes alongside talking through feelings and events.
Her approach is collaborative. Kerry aims to agree goals and check progress each time someone comes to a session. That can mean learning new ways to cope with anxiety, looking at patterns in relationships, or planning how to manage parenting stress.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, relationship breakdown and ongoing stress. Kerry pays attention to the effects of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing and to the impact of abuse and assault when relevant.
People often come for short-term support to cope with a specific issue, or for longer work when problems are more complex. To start, Kerry asks a few questions about what someone wants to change and how their life is organised. From there she and the client decide practical next steps together.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Many of Kerry's methods draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach helps people learn practical skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing work, problem breaking and planning small behavioural changes. These techniques are useful when everyday worries, sleep disruption or constant tension get in the way of daily life.Another common strand focuses on addressing the effects of trauma and abuse. This involves creating a steady, paced process to talk through distressing events, reduce their hold on current life, and build coping strategies for triggers and difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry will help identify which methods fit someone’s goals and preferences, and will review progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats Kerry offers before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time so appointments sit alongside work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online sessions to keep work practical and focused while adapting pace to each person’s needs.
