• Do you struggle to come to terms with your past and feel powerless to change recurring, perhaps repetitive, self-sabotaging or self-destructive patterns of behaviours?
  • Do you have difficulty setting boundaries with yourself or others?
  • After much effort are you not able to see any ways of moving forward in your current situation, and you feel defeated overall?
  • Do you crave more depth and connection in your relationships? ​
  • Are you at a loss to understand your physical ailments (such as panic attacks, IBS) that do not seem to get better?

Kerrie's experience and training are the foundations of the commitment she brings to her work with people who are struggling to change recurring patterns of thought, emotions and/or behaviour in order to move forward. 

Based on a discussion of your needs Kerrie can offer short-term psychotherapy or, if required, longer term psychoanalysis to address the issues you are seeking help with.

About

Kerrie Kirkwood is a Jungian Analyst and has been in private practice in Sydney since 1999.  Previously employed with the Department of Corrective Services for 17 years, she gained extensive experience in working in the areas of addictions, personality disorders, dual diagnosis and grief and loss. Building on this body of experience Kerrie has developed an understanding of how repetitive patterns can, through therapy, form the basis of an individuation process.  
 
Since 2018, Kerrie has facilitated workshops and presented professional development seminars in Australia and New Zealand.  She is particularly interested in helping clinicians to better understand the challenges, constraints and possibilities of working with people with a narcissistic personality structure. She also works with sexuality and gender related issues that are embedded or intrinsic to psychological structures that become the source of an individual’s distress.

Kerrie is an accredited Supervisor with PACFA.
