How Kerry works online
She also works integratively, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the person’s needs. That can mean using structured ways to build confidence, set small goals, or practise coping steps alongside open, reflective conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Kerry will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. Together they will try things and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to one way up front.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and removing travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera for the whole time.
