Rediscover Confidence and Emotional Strength with Integrative Counselling by Kerry Benson in Derby

Emotional wellbeing is not a luxury. It is a crucial part of living a meaningful and fulfilling life. Yet many people across Derbyshire and the Midlands find themselves stuck in cycles of worry, self-doubt, low mood, or unresolved trauma. These challenges can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by life, or unsure of how to move forward.

At Ora The Wellbeing Company, we are proud to support highly skilled practitioners who offer specialist therapeutic services within our purpose-built therapy rooms in Derby and Hilton. One of these practitioners is Kerry Benson, a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who offers personalised, integrative therapy from The Old Surgery in Derby. Kerry’s approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion, creating a safe space for clients to explore, understand, and grow.

If you are ready to rebuild confidence, strengthen your emotional resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self, Kerry offers a therapeutic experience tailored specifically to your needs.

What Kerry Offers: Integrative Counselling Designed for Your Unique Journey

Kerry believes that therapy should be shaped around the individual, not the other way around. Her integrative approach allows her to adapt each session to what you need most, whether that is support in understanding past experiences or practical guidance for the challenges you are facing right now.

Her therapeutic toolkit includes elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and a strong foundation in person-centred practice. This blend enables her to support a wide range of emotional and psychological needs, including:

• Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

• Low self-esteem and self-worth

• Trauma recovery and emotional healing

• Relationship and workplace difficulties

• Bereavement and loss

• Women’s health, hormonal transitions, and identity shifts

• Loneliness, isolation, and neurodiversity-related challenges
  

Each client is supported at a pace that feels right for them, ensuring therapy never feels rushed or intimidating. Kerry’s goal is to create a safe, grounded space where you can learn to understand your emotions, recognise your strengths, and take confident steps forward.

The Benefits of Integrative Counselling

Counselling is not simply a conversation. It is a structured, supportive relationship that helps you understand yourself more deeply and move through emotional barriers with greater clarity. Working with an integrative therapist like Kerry allows you to experience benefits such as:

Greater Emotional Clarity

Therapy provides time and space to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences shape your current challenges.

Improved Self-Esteem and Confidence

Many people struggling with confidence find that therapy allows them to reconnect with their strengths and rebuild self-belief.

Support Through Life Transitions

Whether navigating changes in relationships, health, work, or identity, therapy can help bring stability and emotional grounding.

Safer Processing of Trauma and Painful Experiences

With experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse through Women’s Aid, Kerry brings a gentle, trauma-informed approach that prioritises safety and empowerment.

A Stronger Sense of Self

Therapy helps clients rediscover their voice, reconnect with their values, and identify what truly matters.

The outcome is not simply feeling better. It is understanding yourself in a way that brings long-lasting emotional resilience.

A Practitioner with Compassion, Skill, and Trauma-Informed Expertise

Kerry’s Professional Diploma in Counselling Practice and extensive experience at Women’s Aid shape her uniquely compassionate approach. Supporting women affected by domestic violence gave her deep insight into trauma, resilience, and the importance of safe therapeutic relationships.

Her integrative expertise means she adapts seamlessly to different client needs. Whether you prefer structured CBT-style tools or reflective, insight-focused sessions, Kerry creates a therapeutic experience that aligns with your comfort and goals.

What truly distinguishes her practice is her ability to make clients feel valued, understood, and supported from the moment they walk in.
