About Kerry
Kerry Roberts, BACP counsellor, has four years' experience working with people presenting with stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns. She lists anxiety, depression, ADHD and bipolar among her areas of focus, and includes social anxiety and phobia in her scope of practice. Kerry works with people who find intense feelings and daily pressures hard to manage.
Kerry uses straightforward, person-centred methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's own priorities and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused approaches appear in her practice and are used when they fit the person's goals.
In practice she helps people map what triggers their anxiety and tests small, practical changes in thinking or behaviour. Sessions often explore coping skills for panic, obsessions and compulsions, workplace stress and low self-esteem. Kerry also addresses trauma-related difficulties and feelings such as guilt or shame when these are part of someone's experience.
Her background includes work across therapeutic, nursing, advocacy and rehabilitation settings. Kerry holds BACP accreditation and describes a clinical history with services for adults experiencing complex mental health needs and inpatient care roles.
Kerry aims to work collaboratively to set clear, manageable goals. She supports step-by-step plans around specific problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety and mood swings. People can expect practical tools alongside reflective discussion about patterns that keep problems going.
Before booking, confirm current session formats and practical arrangements with Kerry so they match what a person needs.
How Kerry uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experiences. The therapist follows the individual's lead and helps them make sense of what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns. DBT teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactive behaviour.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kerry will work with the person to identify their goals and choose methods that match those aims. That may mean practising a CBT technique for panic, rehearsing DBT grounding skills, or using client-centred discussion to clarify what to tackle next.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so they meet practical needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when required. Some people find video useful for practising social and communication skills, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or on-screen time is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt sessions to suit routines and goals rather than using a single format.
