How Kerrie works
From there she works on doable steps to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. Kerrie works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, stress and grief.

Online support options
Approaches to therapy you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take steps towards those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties adjusting to life changes.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the person leads the pace and focus. This approach helps people feel heard and explore personal strengths, which can be useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kerrie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day situation and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping the therapy focused and practical for everyday life.
