Kerrie Waterhouse, BACP

Kerrie Waterhouse is a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The BACP is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and membership indicates adherence to recognized professional standards.

Kerrie works from a person-centred perspective, offering calm, respectful, and compassionate support to people facing a wide range of concerns. She has experience helping with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction, childhood issues, stress, loss, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. Her practice includes work with children, young adults, and older clients, adapting her approach to meet different ages and life stages.

In sessions she provides a listening, nonjudgmental space and aims to move alongside each person at their own pace. Through collaborative conversation she supports people to connect with their values, understand patterns that may be holding them back, and develop alternative ways of coping that align with who they are and the goals they wish to reach. Kerrie recognises that taking the first step requires courage and offers steady support through that process.

She provides weekly 45-minute sessions on this platform between 9am and 3pm, Tuesday to Thursday. Messaging between sessions is also available to support ongoing contact and reflection.

Client-Centered Approaches and Online Support

Kerrie practises client-centered or person-centred therapy, which focuses on offering empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and supporting clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach helps people build self-understanding, improve self-esteem, and find new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Person-centred counselling emphasises respect, sensitivity, and collaboration. Rather than prescribing solutions, Kerrie works to create a therapeutic relationship that enables clients to identify their own goals and develop practical coping strategies that feel authentic to them.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kerrie takes a collaborative stance. She will work with each person to determine which ways of working best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Kerrie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between sessions through messaging, and choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for everyday life.
