About Kerry Atkins

Kerry Atkins is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with over three years of clinical experience. She works with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and attachment issues. Kerry has particular focus on anxiety, the loss of a pet, and men’s mental health—areas she considers important yet often overlooked.

Kerry’s approach has been shaped by her own experience of therapy, which informs a practice that values both courage and compassion. She aims to be a therapist who combines resilience with gentleness and clear support, helping people navigate the vulnerability of starting therapy and the work that follows. Kerry draws on multiple theories and modalities to create an individualized process for each person.

Her work may include breathing exercises, somatic body techniques, and guided meditation, with an emphasis on reconnecting the body and mind. Kerry offers a non-judgemental and understanding space for clients to be heard, explore past influences on the present, and receive challenges that support therapeutic goals and forward movement. Kerry holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a collaborative stance to help clients take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect in the way that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps therapy fit more easily into busy schedules or situations where in-person visits are difficult.
