How Kerry works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kerry will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which methods fit best. Sessions are collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow steady continuity when circumstances change. Some formats also let people use shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that suits them better.
