I’m Kerry, a counsellor in Edinburgh and online for busy, anxious, overthinking minds.

I’m a fully qualified counsellor with an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. My training is integrative, which means that although I’m rooted in the person-centred approach, I draw on different ways of working so that sessions fit you. That lets us look at both the emotional and the practical side of living with a mind that rarely switches off.

I’m often described as calm and grounded. My approach is centred on compassion, and on helping you find a bit more of it for yourself. I recognise that many of the people I work with are naturally very hard on themselves, and that learning to see yourself in a gentler way can feel surprisingly difficult.

I hold a holistic view of wellbeing and often clients like to have a better understanding of how their sleep, movement, social connection or hormone balance can affect their energy, capacity levels and overall mood. Having space to talk about the bigger picture, not just the thing that brought you here, can be part of understanding yourself better.

What can Counselling support?

  • Feeling less overwhelmed by daily life
  • Easing anxiety and overthinking
  • Understanding your inner critic
  • Building self-compassion
  • Feeling more confident in yourself

My own story

I understand the late nights spent trying to quieten a busy mind, and how difficult it can be to shift the worrying once it takes hold. Learning to understand myself and give myself some grace along the way has been an important part of my own story.

I know what it’s like to have spent years being your own harshest critic, constantly worrying about getting things wrong, feeling like you’re too much or never quite enough. Beginning to untangle those thoughts and learning to be a little more kind to yourself is exactly what we work on together.
