How Kerry uses person-centred work and CBT online
Kerry draws from Client-Centred Therapy and from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people feel understood so they can explore their feelings. It is often used for issues like self-esteem, grief and relationship worries. CBT looks at thoughts and actions and introduces practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve coping with stress.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Kerry will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting over time as needs change. She aims to be collaborative and to explain options plainly so people can make informed choices about their care.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or family life and cutting travel time.
