Based in Eastbourne, Kerry studied Music at Middlesex University and Radford University (USA) before earning a Master's degree in Music Performance (Clarinet and Saxophone) from Louisiana State University (USA) as a Fulbright Scholar. She subsequently trained as a teacher and has spent more than 29 years in education, gaining extensive experience and a deep understanding of the emotional, social, and educational needs of children and young people.

In 2023, Kerry qualified as a Psychodynamic Music Therapist at the University of Roehampton. She completed her Neurological Music Therapy training with the Neurological Academy of Music Therapy, gaining accreditation in May 2025 and her EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training with the EMDR Training Group under the supervision of Dr Kendhal Hart and Kristie Boggs, gaining accreditation in November 2026.

Kerry specialises in Neuro-rehabilitation, Autism, and ADHD, with extensive experience supporting children and young people in both mainstream and specialist educational settings. She also works with autistic children and those experiencing anxiety in mainstream educational environments, offering compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic support tailored to each person's unique strengths and needs.

Alongside her other clinical work, Kerry has a particular interest in the use of music therapy with people seeking refuge, recognising the powerful role that music can play in supporting emotional wellbeing, fostering connection, and helping individuals process the impact of trauma.
