About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She works with clients who are struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, grief, self‑esteem and issues related to LGBT identity. Kerry uses a calm, person‑centred way of talking so people can say what matters most to them.
Kerry describes her work as client led, so sessions follow the person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
She combines person‑centred work with other approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment‑based ideas when that fits the situation. This lets her challenge unhelpful thinking and look at patterns that affect relationships. She has five years' experience and holds NCPS as a professional credential.
Her background includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, health anxiety and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Kerry also works with concerns such as trauma, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, and care‑related stress. In sessions she makes space to talk about upsetting feelings and practical problems.
Conversations aim to identify where change is wanted and plan manageable steps forward. Kerry encourages small experiments, new ways of communicating and practical coping skills that can be used between meetings. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers help in English.
She welcomes international clients and invites people to consider whether her style feels like a good match before they begin.

How Kerry's approaches can work online
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships affect feelings and trust now, and helps people change patterns that cause problems today. It can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties and feelings of abandonment.Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the session, so the client leads the pace and topics. This approach suits people who need time to explore feelings and make sense of what matters to them.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and suggests small practical steps to test different ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Think about whether a quieter time of day, a shorter meeting or not using video would help you sustain regular sessions.
