Ms Ceri Kerrin

Counseling Psychologist

An experienced psychologist with an interest in health psychology (including psycho-oncology), bereavement, addiction, and mental wellness.

About Me

As an experienced Counseling Psychologist, I offer a supportive space to navigate life's complex challenges. I work with individuals facing significant health issues, including cancer, to process grief and loss, and to address patterns of addiction. We can explore your experiences together, focusing on cultivating overall mental wellness. My approach helps clients understand their feelings and build practical ways forward, fostering resilience for daily life.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace, blending careful assessment, reflective exploration and practical strategies tailored to your situation. Whether we meet in Cape Town or online in Afrikaans, Dutch or English, I attend to the emotional and practical demands that come with illness, loss or addictive patterns. Between meetings you may be invited small, manageable tasks to practice coping skills and track changes, keeping therapy grounded in everyday life. People who value clear structure and compassionate partnership often find this way of working helpful.
