Kerry Herd, BACP

Kerry Herd is a UK-based counsellor with BACP accreditation and 3 years of professional experience. As an integrative, person-centred practitioner, she partners with clients to explore what is causing distress and to identify practical steps forward. Kerry places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her practice, offering empathetic listening and a non-judgemental space that respects each person as the expert on their own life.

She has worked with people experiencing stress and anxiety, family conflicts, low motivation, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, and symptoms of depression. Drawing on an integrative approach, Kerry tailors the tools and techniques she uses to each client rather than relying on a single method. Her BACP accreditation reflects membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Kerry believes in working at the client’s pace and in highlighting existing strengths to support change. She aims to create a supportive, collaborative environment for those taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life, adapting sessions to meet individual needs and goals.

Person-Centred and Integrative Support Online

Kerry works from a person-centred foundation, which focuses on empathy, genuine listening, and respect for each individual's perspective. This approach helps people explore their concerns at their own pace and can be especially useful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulties in family relationships.

Alongside person-centred work, she uses an integrative approach, combining evidence-based techniques drawn from different therapeutic methods to suit the needs of each client. This flexibility allows the therapist to adapt strategies to support motivation, manage symptoms of depression, and address relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Kerry will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and access from home. Sessions can be arranged via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the format that fits their routine and comfort while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
