About Kerryn
Kerryn Knight is an ACA and PACFA credentialled clinical counsellor with 17 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. Kerryn also focuses on young adult issues and workplace-related concerns.
Kerryn practises from an arts-informed perspective, using creative and expressive methods alongside more traditional talking therapies.

She aims to help clients notice the strengths they already have and use those strengths to face current challenges. Kerryn emphasises collaboration and invites people to set the pace and goals for therapy. This can include working on confidence, motivation, or strategies for handling panic and social anxiety.
People come to Kerryn for help managing relationship communication, separation and divorce issues, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. She also supports those questioning their life purpose or facing a midlife review. Her approach is adaptable and often combines creative exercises with problem-solving and practical coping tools.
Kerryn practises in Victoria and works with adults. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused, helping people find clearer next steps when they feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kerryn combines creative expressive techniques with conversational counselling. Creative expressive methods use art, metaphor and symbolism to help people access feelings or themes that are hard to name, which can be useful for anxiety, low motivation or a sense of emptiness. Conversational counselling focuses on talking through experiences, identifying strengths and creating small practical steps to manage stress, panic or workplace problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerryn will explore different methods with each person and decide together which feels most useful. This collaborative process looks at your needs, goals and what feels manageable, so the approach can change as progress is made.
