About Kerry
Counsellor Kerry Siobone Gibbs is registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and depression. Kerry lists a range of additional focus areas including attachment issues, substance and process addictions, PTSD and isolation. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Kerry practises from a humanistic, integrative standpoint. She mixes client-centred listening with mindfulness and somatic work to help people notice how thoughts, feelings and the body connect. Solution-focused tools are used where someone wants short-term practical steps. Trauma-focused techniques are included when trauma is part of the picture.
In a typical session Kerry listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. She will reflect what she hears, suggest small experiments or grounding exercises, and check in about how these feel afterwards. Discussions can include feelings about identity, loss, addiction, or relationships. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps alongside talking things through.
Kerry describes bringing her own experience of therapy into her work. That personal perspective informs her style but does not replace collaborative assessment and planning with each person. People can expect a straightforward conversation about goals in early sessions and a shared plan for subsequent meetings.
Fees vary with location and sessions are supplied through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users follow the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How Kerry uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects back what she hears to help someone make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for issues like low self esteem, grief and identity questions.Mindfulness Therapy involves simple exercises to help notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them. It can help reduce anxiety and support people living with ongoing stress or seasonal low mood.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at ways to process the impact of traumatic events. In practice this means the counsellor will take a careful, paced approach to memories and reactions and combine talking with grounding or body-based techniques when needed.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss what feels most helpful at first and adapt methods over time. The decision is collaborative and based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone. They can also work well when people prefer not to be on camera or need an option that uses less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a mix of approaches so practical details are worth checking in advance.
