Heart to Heart
The Body Speaks – Camborne Redruth Cornwall
Kerry Day BA Dip.Couns
Integrative and Eclectic Counsellor – CPCAB
I work holistically, attending to the whole person and drawing on diverse approaches using my intuition, while being guided by each person’s own inner felt sense, co-creating an experience of deep integration and gentle renewal.
As an Integrative Therapist – I blend psychodynamic and person centered approaches within a psychotherapy framework.
Psychodynamic – I explore unconscious patterns, early life experiences and how they affect present behaviour.
Person-centred (Rogerian) – I offer empathy, unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental space so clients can self-actualise.
Psychotherapy – I have trained in talking-therapy methods and draw on several approaches as needed.
Testimonials
“If you are truly ready to be held whilst surrendering to your own psyche, Kerry will hold you. I believe I was born with all the tools necessary to navigate this world; without instructions. Kerry has helped me discover how not to be afraid of using EVERY tool in the box. Since letting Kerry in I have become more in tune with my body and interconnections. Notably, Kerry helped illuminate some of the behaviours that fed my lifestyle leading to my burnout experience. Not only this, I now live by my monthly cycle, attuning my life to suit my changing needs whilst ovulating or menstruating. Kerry has been incredibly responsive to my journey, resulting in the most healing experiences both in session with her and out in the real world. Her words are NEVER empty. She embodies that of a healer.” Molly – July, 2025

I can’t recommend her highly enough.” Rachel – August, 2024

“Kerry’s warmth and genuine concern put me at ease and allowed me to open to the counselling process fully. Her counselling has allowed me to make great strides in a short period of time. Her observations and attentiveness allow Kerry to make “actionable” insights which I’ve been able to employ every day. Time with “SoulSynergy” “now known as The Body Speaks” has made a huge difference to my life. I’m tremendously grateful.” Leo – 2021

“I found Kerry at a very challenging time in my life, following several bereavements and other life events that had caused me pain which I was unable to move through. Kerry guided me, safely, through both body and thought, to a state of greater understanding and clarity about the nature of pain and ways to take a different view of our own internal worlds. She taught me the importance of recognizing and listening to my body and its unconscious wisdom. Kerry’s approach is gentle, assured and secure but at the same time, powerfully effective. I will not hesitate to recommend her to people I know in need of a safe and gentle space within which to heal. Thank you” . Nory – June 2, 2018

I help people remember what they already know deep down, that healing and transformation are natural. With a background in counselling, psychotherapy, Reiki, creative arts and performance, I create safe, non-judgemental spaces where you can explore who you are, reconnect with your inner wisdom and move beyond limiting patterns.
I completed my Postgraduate qualification in Counselling in 2009, and I am currently completing my degree in Psychotherapy. I’ve been supporting clients since 2009 in different settings, combining evidence-based therapy with creativity, movement, the bodies knowledge and intuitive practices. My work draws on decades of personal and professional experience in trauma, recovery, self-expression and self-development.
I believe the synergy between people can create real magic. Just as the relationship we form with our own bodies can. It is the heart-to-heart connection, our heart’s medicine, conscious presence, and the loving compassion generated between people and for ourselves that can take us deeper.
Just as nature and our bodies know how to heal themselves, so do we on a mental and emotional level. Society, conditioning, and life experiences may cause us to forget this innate wisdom. My work supports you in remembering. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore more of who you are. A deeper self-awareness gives us more agency over the patterns that keep us from living the life we long for.
Since 2010 I have been practicing Reiki and have qualified as a Reiki Master. I have also studied sound as a form of healing. My Degree in Fine Art, earned in 2001, continues to inform my practice. I have been using creativity as a therapeutic means of support for others for over two decades.
I have been working with individuals and couples tackling some of these issues, sexual abuse, codependency, fragmentation, dissociation, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, body dis-morphia, BPD, sexual abuse, Trauma, Bereavement, self development, anger, childhood trauma, OCD, neurodiversity, self doubt, creative blocks, triggers, long term patterns and stress.
I have successfully supported couples to re-connect find more intimacy and harmony. This work is also very powerful in self development.
I also facilitate inclusive improvisation workshops, as well as inclusive spaces for art, merging the worlds of creativity, performance and self-development.
I continue to use art in its many forms as a therapeutic means for myself and others to explore ourselves more deeply. Or use it to unwind, communicate or just be with what is. I also have an art studio at the Krowji where I am developing my poetry and art books.
When I’m not working, I enjoy writing, walking with my dogs, mediation, friendships, family and nature. I love to express myself through different mediums such as my poetry, art and dance. I eat healthy and try to live a conscientious life.
I have transformed a lot of my shadows by bringing them into the light and always willing to show that I’m still have work to do. I believe that we are ever expanding, ever growing.
“There is nothing to fear in understanding our shadows, or that we are perfectly imperfect, as life will always contain the contrasts. Darkness is only the absence of light, and it is light the casts every shadow”.

Much Love always
