Kerry Atkins
Person-centred/humanistic counsellorAbout Me
Hi my name is kerry and I am a Psychotherapeutic counsellor, based in loughborough, leicestershire. I have recently completed a bacelors of science degree in psychology and counselling at the sherwood psychotherapy training institute in nottingham.
During this 3 years, I have been honoured enough to work at a local charity to provide over 200 hours of client therapy, covering a wide range of presenting issues, including but not limited to, depression, grief, sexual abuse, anxiety, self esteem, OCD and betrayals.
My own experience of personal therapy has shaped how I work as a clinician. I understand how scary starting therapy can be, how challenging it can feel, and the difference that a warm, caring yet strong therapist can make to that journey.
My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming, safe and non-judgemental space, to allow my clients to explore their feelings safely.
Working from a humanistic and integrative modality, I believe in working with each person as a whole, encorporating mind, body and spiritualality and encouraging each clients autonomy and self empowerment.
I believe that each client is the expert in themselves and their experiences, and that by working together, we can provide a better understanding of yourself.
Whether you are here because you are struggling with a big life event, wanting support understanding how a past event can be impacting you in the present, or simply are looking to understand yourself better, therapy can be a useful and often life changing tool.
Please feel free to contact me for an initial chat if you feel unsure about booking directly. I look forward to working with you.
