About Kerry
Kerry Deakin is a counsellor with 13 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and self-esteem. Kerry works in a direct, practical way and aims to help people feel more able to manage difficult moments.
She approaches sessions believing the client is the expert in their own story. Kerry helps people identify strengths and build on them.
Background and approach
She offers steady support while clients try new ways of thinking and behaving. In sessions she listens closely and asks questions that help clarify what matters most. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, with practical ideas to try between meetings.
Kerry encourages realistic steps rather than big, sudden changes. Her experience includes helping people cope after sexual assault and abuse, dealing with infidelity and jealousy, and facing prejudice and discrimination. She also has experience with personality disorder presentations and the effects these can have on relationships and daily life.
Kerry works in English and uses approaches drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She aims to create a calm space to talk things through and to develop coping strategies that fit each person’s life. Taking that first step can feel hard, and Kerry offers steady guidance throughout the process.

Evidence-based approaches and online support
Kerry draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasises understanding thoughts and patterns that fuel anxiety and unhelpful behaviours, helping people learn alternative ways to respond. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and its effects, giving space to tell difficult experiences and building steps to reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match a person's goals, preferences and current situation. This is a collaborative process where strategies are tested and adapted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat can be used for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life, while keeping continuity with the same therapist.
