Kerry Nelson , BACP

Kerry Nelson is a counsellor with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Kerry focuses on women’s issues among other concerns and aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk about difficult moments.

She believes people are the experts on their own stories and brings a person-centred way of working to sessions. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them notice strengths and choices they already have.

Kerry combines person-centred care with practical, solution-focused steps. She helps people set small, realistic goals and notice what changes make a difference between sessions. For those affected by trauma she uses trauma-focused methods to address painful memories and their present impact.

Her work commonly attends to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people through divorce and separation and the stresses of parenting. Kerry aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist's schedule.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard, explore feelings and decide what changes they want to try. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move things forward. It helps when someone wants concrete goals and ways to measure progress. Trauma-Focused Therapy works with the impact of past harm and aims to reduce how intrusive memories and reactions are in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kerry will listen to a person’s needs, goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that feel most helpful. The plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language while keeping appointments from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively online, and these formats make it easier to keep therapy going around busy lives.
