About Valerie

Valerie Skerrett is a UK-based therapist with nine years of professional experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns and career difficulties. She works with individuals and couples to explore motivations, build confidence and address practical and emotional barriers that get in the way of a more satisfying life. Valerie helps couples look at relationship issues with the intention of finding resolutions that suit both partners while also offering one-to-one support for areas such as loss, addiction, trauma and life transitions.

She holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognized UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and practises with a focus on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Valerie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly and safely, and she works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and practical steps toward change. Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing often requires courage, and Valerie offers steady support throughout that process, including work with international clients when appropriate.
