Danielle Kerris (my pronouns are she/her)

As a humanistic counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental, empathic space. I am client led and trauma-informed in my approach. I work from a place of wholeness, always assuming that, as long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you. As a former counsellor with Cruse I have extensive experience working with bereavement, including with persons who were bereaved during lockdown and by Covid 19. work consciously with clients from a variety of background and life experiences. I am committed to uncovering the ways in which culturally embedded power dynamics show up within me. I am gender, sexuality and relationship diversity affirmative. For me, the relationship is key, and an initial session would be a chance for us to feel whether I'm the right person for you. I love the Anne Lamott quote: 'My mind is a bad neighbourhood that I try not to go into alone'. I don't have all the answers, but I can be by your side as you visit some difficult places. And who knows, maybe some unexpected and joyful places too. I offer a free 30 minute initial video or telephone consultation. This will be an opportunity for us to get a sense of whether we are the right fit for each other. The first full 50 minute session is chargeable at £60 and will include an assessment. At my Lewes practice £30 places are offered to clients in receipt of any amount of Universal Credit, Housing Benefit or other means tested benefits.
