Hello. My name is Kerry Hinsby

I'm a Consultant Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with over 30 years' experience across the NHS and independent sector, and an accredited coach.

I work in three connected ways:

  • helping teams and organisations build cultures where people can do demanding work well, sustainably, and without burning out

  • providing psychological therapy and support to individuals in distress

  • offering a forward facing coaching service to support professionals to flourish.

Teams and organisations

I've spent my career supporting teams working in complex, emotionally demanding, high-risk environments, including secure forensic mental health settings, prisons, and most recently leading a supra-regional staff wellbeing hub. I have extensive experience of the development of sustainable support frameworks and programmes both at scale for large NHS trusts and regional networks, and more discretely for individual voluntary sector organisations. My work includes supervision, group support spaces, post-incident support, training, and organisational consultation, helping build teams that are resilient and adaptable, while protecting the work-life balance of the people in them.

Individual therapy

I offer support for a wide range of difficulties, including burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the general overwhelm that comes with a demanding life or role. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate and curious. I start with your experience, and build an approach around what you specifically need.

Coaching

As an accredited coach I offer services to support career and workplace clarity, wellbeing and purposeful planning. My coaching is grounded in the same psychological theory as my therapy offer, but adapted for the coaching relationship. I have particular expertise in coaching for people in highly pressured or emotionally demanding roles.

My approach

Whether I'm working with one person or an entire organisation, my approach is the same: I start with your actual experience, not a template. I draw on a broad range of evidence-based therapeutic and coaching models, alongside my own systems experience, to build something specific to you or your organisation. The foundation is always a robust evidence base but the result is always individual.
