My husband and I reached out to Kerry three years ago during a really difficult period in our relationship. From the outset, she provided an exceptional environment—a haven of acceptance and comfort—where we felt safe to delve into some much needed self-discovery. Through Kerry's support, we gained deep insights into our communication styles, our approaches to giving and receiving love, our concerns, and our capacity to self-reflect.

We now seamlessly incorporate the techniques we’ve learnt in therapy in our day-to-day lives, often without even realising it. We cherish our sessions with Kerry, and continue to see her every few months, either as a couple or individually. Our relationship has flourished, we have never been happier, and we owe a great deal of our growth to Kerry and the transformative therapy we've undergone. We don’t know where we would be today without her. We wholeheartedly recommend Kerry's services to everyone! She provides invaluable tools and unwavering support that have profoundly enriched our lives, and we will forever be grateful.

You have been the best thing ever for me in the darkest times giving me hope, perspective, and practical and objective advice on the stages of awfulness of separation. Your presence in my life made me such stronger and helped to start clearing my brain of conditioning. I can’t thank you enough.

If your needing help, guidance and support in your relationship don’t wait. Don’t use counselling as a last resort, just book in.

My husband and I both clicked with Kerry from the very first session and have continued to feel comfortable and inspired each and every time we meet up.

We have discussed a range of issues, learnt so many skills and stratergies and have been able to rebuild our friendship with Kerry’s expertise.

She has always been professional, calm, non judgmental, observant, warm and amazing at what she does, we just wish we bit the bullet six years back and found her sooner!

A complete random message but just wanted to say a huge thank you. I’m having my tubes tied Friday and had the pre admission phone call today. She went through my info that was filled out around a year ago.

Back then I was smoking (not a lot but still I was), I was 10kg heavier and taking Valium a few times a week and then she read out my medical history and when she said ‘PTSD’ my reaction was ‘oh but it’s not really relevant now’. To that she said ‘don’t underestimate trauma, anything might set you back to that, are you away from whatever it was that caused this now’.

I’ve been thinking about it off and on all day and how far I’ve come. I don’t smoke. I have lost 10kg. My thought patterns are soooo much healthier and I’m kind to myself. I haven’t had Valium in 11 months!

I know when to say no. When I’m at my limit. My anxiety is 100 times better. I still have my days of course but wow. Just wow.

I remember telling you I felt like I was going through a period of ‘hibernating’ or something, comparing it to a caterpillar before it turns into a butterfly…. While I’m still not the butterfly yet, I am at peace with my current life.

I don’t have a social life but I am my little peoples everything and that’s the season I’m in. I’m ok with it.

So thank you so so much because without our intense sessions I wouldn’t be where I am today. To have your guidance and support was truly life changing!

The aftermath of abuse is so delicate and most counsellors/therapists just don’t ‘get it’ which I’ve found does more damage. But you do. You’re amazing at what you do and I Thankyou so so much!!!!

My Husband and I turned to Kerry for support during a particularly challenging time in our marriage. It was as simple as a communication breakdown but seemed impossible to fix ourselves. Kerry became the safe space for us to unpack our challenges while at the same time she was able to remind us of all the positives in the relationship.

She was non judgemental and patient. Kerry not only counselled us but gave us strategies to draw upon in the future. She is not only empathetic and kind, but experienced and knowledgeable. I would, and have, recommended her to a number of friends.

I have found Kerry to be very caring and empathetic. She helped me to help myself and realise I am worth it and it’s ok to put myself first. I have never been so happy and confident in all my life and that is thanks to Kerry.

I would strongly recommend Kerry to anyone. I was referred by a friends and have referred two close friends to Kerry who have also found her guidance and support very valuable. My motivations for seeing Kerry were to work through what I thought were trust issues due to an abusive relationship. What I found was layers and layers of hurt that needed attention. Many things I had locked away, and as I was ready, Kerry used a range of techniques to help me remember, purge and reconcile.

The result is that I am my most content and solid self. I couldn’t have done this without Kerry’s kind guidance and counselling and of course challenging my perceptions and behaviour about situations. This was my first time seeing a counsellor in my life and I honestly love it. I don’t see a time in my life where this would not be necessary, this is a testament to Kerry.

Dear Kerry,

*** and I would like to express our profound gratitude for your words of wisdom. Your guidance and encouragement helped save a once very broken relationship. Thank you so much for helping us rediscover happiness together.

 What we have learnt from you will not only make us better listeners and communicators, but better parents and people. In particular the way we address issues, and improving our language towards each other.

 With a sincere heart, I would like to say thank you for spending your valuable time with us. The discussions we had gave us comfort, hope, and courage to move on with life no matter the circumstance. You are the best councilor we have had, by far.

Very much looking forward to sessions in future, we still need you. The service here is invaluable.
