Kerrie Waterhouse, BACP

Kerrie Waterhouse is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who works with adults and young people across a wide range of life challenges. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and brings a compassionate, respectful approach to each client.

Kerrie has four years of practice supporting people with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, childhood issues, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, intimacy-related issues, anger, career difficulties, and ADHD. She has experience in working with children, young adults, and senior clients, tailoring sessions to the needs and pace of each person.

In sessions Kerrie aims to walk alongside clients, helping them connect with their feelings, gain clearer self-understanding, and develop new ways of coping that align with their goals and values. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental therapeutic presence and works collaboratively to explore patterns that may be standing in the way of a more fulfilling life.

Kerrie provides weekly 45-minute sessions on this platform between 9am and 3pm, Tuesday to Thursday, and offers messaging between sessions to support ongoing work and communication.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy options

Kerrie works from a client-centred, person-focused perspective that prioritizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. This approach involves creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where the person is encouraged to explore feelings and experiences at their own pace - it is particularly helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and life transitions.

Within that person-centred framework Kerrie aims to help clients find their own insights and resources rather than directing outcomes, supporting long-term changes in how they relate to themselves and others. This way of working is adaptable to a variety of concerns including grief, addiction, trauma, parenting challenges, and career-related stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kerrie will work with each client to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the way sessions proceed as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Kerrie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from different locations within the therapist’s service area, and combine scheduled meetings with messaging between sessions when appropriate.
