The Body Speaks – Camborne Redruth Cornwall
Kerry Day BA Dip.Couns
Integrative and Intuitive Counsellor – CPCAB
The Body Speaks
The body speaks. It holds the past and the present. What does it want to say to you?
I work with people who feel stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we explore patterns held in body and mind, gently releasing tension and opening space for more conscious choice. My approach blends body, mind, and lived experience, helping you reconnect, understand, and move forward.
My Approach
I work holistically, attending to the whole person and drawing on diverse approaches, guided by each person’s own inner felt sense. Together, we co-create an experience of deep integration, gentle renewal, and self-discovery.
I integrate psychodynamic and person-centred approaches, as well as creative and embodied practices, into my work. This allows each person to explore themselves in ways that resonate with them, supporting self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.
Testimonials
“Kerry is such a warm, supportive and intuitive couples counsellor, she has really helped us both to understand more about ourselves and how we work together as a couple. Before the sessions with Kerry we felt very disconnected from each other and had really lost our way as a couple. But after working with Kerry we have really changed and grown and have found new ways to reconnect in our relationship. Kerry holds a safe and welcoming space where it feels possible to talk about and work with any issues and conflicts. She gives equal time and space to each partner and really gets the balance right of allowing space for each person to speak up and also giving guidance and prompting where needed. We are very grateful to her and would recommend her to any couples who are looking for a counsellor.” Ruth Milligan – March 2026
“Kerry is an outstanding therapist who offers the most profound insights and empathy, as well as her incredible skills at somatic therapy and connecting to the body. I highly recommend Kerry to anyone who is seeking a deeper understanding of themselves or wants to work through past experiences. She is amazing!” Abi Harrison – December 2025
“I have been seeing Kerry for help with pain and I can seriously say my pain has diminished at least by 50%. She has allowed me the tools to be able to let go of past hurt/trauma within a safe secure environment and I can highly recommend her. I am still a work in progress but I have every faith in kerry and know we will get there in the end.
I feel so much more positive and free to say and express the feelings I usually bottle up hence no more inner tension attacking my body.
Thank you Kerry 😊” Sue Broderick – December 2025
“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
“There aren’t many counsellors who make you feel so at ease and able to discuss anything, as Kerry. She’s clearly an amazing person – so refreshingly honest and down-to-earth – and a great counsellor. Thoroughly recommend.” Jim – June, 2025

“Kerry-Louise has been a great therapist to work with, always kind, empathetic, and compassionate. She has provided me with a space to work through things without judgement. I initially met with her due to a painful physical condition. With her help and support, I’ve been able to work through some psychological issues, which have helped to both relieve my depression and anxiety, as well as the resulting physical pain. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” Rachel – August, 2024
“I couldn’t recommend more! Kerry has been such a wonderful supported to my daughter and myself, helping my daughter through a challenging time getting her through a diagnosis of ASD. Going above and beyond whilst being professional all the way nothing is to much trouble she allowed a safe space for us to be heard and understood. My relationship with my daughter is so much better and I will be forever grateful for all you have done.” Nadia – January, 2024
“My healing session with Kerry was like laying on a bed of clouds while a shawoman in butterfly form sung to my soul and waved her wings to make vibrations that allowed my body and mind to recognise and allow healing* She used an intuitive mix of sound healing, reiki, and her deep being”. Ebony – 2015
“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

She combined a number of different mediums to create a lovely space within which to heal. Thank you Kerry Tomlins.” . Jo Tobin – June 5, 2018
“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 draw on a range of therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for each client. This may include:
- Visualisation & mindfulness – using imagery and awareness to calm, ground and refocus
- Working with earlier experiences – gently exploring and healing younger or vulnerable parts of self
- Body awareness (somatic work) – noticing and processing emotions held in the body
- Integration – supporting insights to be lived and embodied in daily life
- Exploring the ‘shadow’ – bringing awareness to denied or less visible parts of self
- Relational & experiential work (informed by Gestalt) – exploring patterns through dialogue, role play, and present-moment awareness
- Working with thoughts and patterns – noticing and reshaping unhelpful thinking
- Emotional release approaches – supporting the processing and release of held emotions
- Deep relaxation / guided imagery – accessing deeper levels of awareness in a safe, grounded way
Experience & Training
I hold Level 2, 3, and 4 qualifications in Counselling, specialising in Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches, and I am currently completing Level 5 in Psychotherapy. I am also a Reiki Master (since 2010). My Fine Art degree informs my therapeutic work, which includes art therapy, drama therapy, inclusive dance, and body-mapping workshops.
I have undertaken additional training and CPD and hold high interest in Non Violent Communication – NVC, Conflict resolution, trauma-informed therapy, bereavement support, addiction therapy, CBT, NLP, Gestalt, Jungian approaches, and family systems. I have worked extensively with people on the autism spectrum and with survivors of sexual abuse.
Areas of Focus
I work with individuals, couples, and groups on issues such as pain, physical illness, trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociation, body dysmorphia, unconscious patterns, relationship difficulties, codependency, intimacy, self-development, addiction, OCD, misophonia, neurodiversity, stress, and creative blocks.
Creative & Personal Integration
Creativity, performance, and embodiment are central to my personal and ongoing work. I run therapeutic art groups, inclusive improvisation workshops, and art and poetry projects. I am currently preparing my books and will be attending the Literary Festival, sharing work that speaks to both the adult and the inner child, shaped through lived experience.
I explore the shadows and the light within us, noticing the parts we feel discomfort in, the parts that give us meaning, and those we often forget to see. Through poetry and short stories, I invite reflection, presence, and connection, revealing struggle as growing pain and unconventional beauty. My spoken word performances create a shared, live experience of recognition. I am currently illustrating my words in my Krowji studio, with my first book planned for late 2026.
Helping people, and myself, explore themselves, communicate, or simply be present is central to most aspects of my creative and working life. I also enjoy walking with my dogs, meditating, yoga and spending time in nature.
Philosophy & Reflection
Healing and transformation are natural parts of life. Just as nature and our bodies know how to heal themselves, so do we on a mental and emotional level. The connection between people, heart-to-heart, conscious presence, and compassion, can take us deeper.
“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 that casts every shadow.” – Kerry
