Dr Kerri Garbutt: Experienced Integrative Psychologist / Psychotherapist

I am a Chartered and Registered Psychologist with over 20 years of in-practice experience in the psychological assessment and treatment of adults with a wide range of psychological issues and needs. 

I can adapt my therapeutic approach and style to best meet your needs,  and use a range of therapeutic approaches. I am also known for my ability to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with individuals who have difficulty trusting others, experience high levels of shame or have had negative experiences with other therapists/individuals in authority in the past. I can create a safe space where you can share whatever you need to, allowing you to work through difficult issues and gain a healthier and happier future.

 I work in a non-judgemental and inclusive way, welcoming people of all races, cultures, genders, sexualities, life experiences, and socioeconomic backgrounds. My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space — all are truly welcome. 

I provide a range of psychological assessments to help identify specific diagnoses and/or recommend appropriate treatment pathways for adults of all genders.

My approach to therapy is integrative — I draw on a variety of evidence-based methods to find what works best for each individual. Some people prefer a particular therapy model, while others value a more flexible style that adapts to their needs.

I offer a wide range of therapies online across the UK, including Schema Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic IFS, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, amongst others. This breadth of expertise enables me to help clients process trauma, manage emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

When choosing a therapist, it’s important to find someone who can address your specific needs and offer an approach that feels right for you. Therapy is a personal journey, and the therapeutic relationship matters as much as the techniques. It’s always okay to change therapists if the fit doesn’t feel right — a good practitioner will understand.
