About me and my therapy practice
A warm welcome.
I'm an experienced MÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accred therapist, with a degree (BSc Hons) in counselling, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, with an enhanced DBS check and GRASAC accreditation to work with sexual violence.
Together we can explore what you feel ready and safe to share. What does it feel like to take off masks, shedding protective layers that keep the authentic, vulnerable self safe while navigating through challenging or traumatic times?
My area of expertise include:
Emotional and Sexual Abuse
Loneliness and social isolation
Body Image
Neglect
Sexual Assault
Gender Identity
Exploration of sexuality
Struggles with relationships and attachment
High Sensitivity
Suicidal Ideation / self harm
Bereavement
Empowerment Strategies
Strength based
Whether you experience yourself as being a misfit, lonely, stuck, anxious, burned out, depressed or alienated from the world, I will be at your side to support you. Along our journey I will offer my empathy and professional, evidence-based skills that hopefully will benefit your growth process.
My approach
Into my person centred practice, I integrate compassion focussed cognitive behavioural therapy (CF-CBT) that include:
mindfulness, linguistics and neuroscientific aspects. Additionally, looking at societal attitudes and cultural influences on gender and relational dynamics utilising experimental approaches such as guided imagery, voice and body work.

About me and my therapy practice
Supervision with Kerstin
I’m Kerstin Pullin, an NCS accredited supervisor, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Counsellor that knows from experience that it requires relational trust building to bring cases that can be tough and impacting on your confidence. Balancing being a diligent practitioner with the necessity to practice self-care and run a business or work in an organisational setting can be challenging and requires a space for support and self-reflection.
That’s where my experience comes in to empathically support, challenge and empower you to stay on your path whilst sailing through rough waters with your clients. My background is in providing contemporary trauma informed practice through the lenses of intersectionality, curiosity and compassion. Clients can introduce a multitude of life experiences with varying impact on their relationships and sense of self. Collaboratively we can explore the challenges you are facing and your ideas on how to support clients to meet their hopes for therapy.
Practice description
Bringing yourself in to supervision
Potentially working with a number of complex cases and narratives about experiences or witnessing of violence and abuse can lead to therapists developing secondary trauma traits. We risk experiencing compassion fatigue (Figley, 2002) and vicarious traumatisation (Pearlman and Saakvitne, 1995). I therefore don’t limit our time together to client work, as counselling and psychotherapy supervision involves you, so bringing all of yourself to supervision; personal and/or private practice/organisational aspects that might impact you ability to stay present with your client.
Despite going through difficult socio-political and environmental dominated times I can provide you with supervision that is collaborative, dynamic, holding and respectful of your requirements.
Please note that if you seek supervision for your work as an EMDR Therapist, you would need to contact a qualified EMDR Consultant.
My first session
I would recommend to book a 1hr introductory session to explore your experiences/expectations and the way I work.
What I can help with
Abuse, ADD / ADHD, Addictions, Anxiety, Bereavement, Business coaching, Cancer, Career coaching, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Cultural issues, Depression, Eating disorders, Health related issues, Identity issues, Infertility, Loss, Obsessions, OCD, Personal development, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy related issues, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Substance Dependency, Trauma, Women's issues
