About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor and accredited member of the NCPS with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns, and lists issues such as self‑esteem, trauma and intimacy‑related struggles among her areas of focus. Kerry also supports people grappling with eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, career changes and the impact of life transitions.
Kerry uses a client‑centred way of working so sessions follow what the person brings. That means conversations are led by the client's priorities while the therapist offers gentle challenge and reflection. She combines person‑centred work with approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally‑Focused Therapy when they suit the aim of the session.
In practical terms Kerry helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to emotions and relationships. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how past patterns shape current connections. Therapy can include talking through feelings, trying behavioural experiments, and building clearer communication around intimacy and boundaries.
Kerry has supported people who have experienced abuse, health anxiety and bereavement, and those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, or body image concerns. She also works with clients exploring sexuality and alternative sexual cultures in a non‑judgemental way.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Kerry asks questions, reflects what she hears and offers practical steps when useful. People new to counselling are guided through an initial matching process and shown how to book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kerry uses client‑centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment‑Based ideas in her practice. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns, allowing sessions to be shaped by what matters most right now. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses. Attachment‑based work examines how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build clearer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and make decisions together about which methods to try, based on needs and goals. That collaborative process can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
The biography does not specify which online formats Kerry uses, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check‑in conversations when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or avoid video when that suits practical circumstances. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT worksheets or attachment‑focused conversations to remote sessions, helping people apply skills between meetings.
