About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor who helps people dealing with low mood and other life stresses. She works in a calm, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. Kerry uses a mix of approaches so conversations stay focused on what the client needs.
Kerry places the client at the centre of the work using person-centred ideas that let the person lead the pace and topics. She adds techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to help challenge unhelpful thinking when useful.
Background and approach
Emotion-focused and attachment-informed ideas are also available when relationships or strong emotions are central concerns. Clients come with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and trauma. Kerry has supported people affected by bereavement, health worries, obsessive thoughts and past abuse.
She also helps with relationship strain, intimacy worries and challenges around identity and life changes. Sessions are intended to be warm and non-judgemental, with a focus on practical next steps as well as understanding patterns from the past. Kerry aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and to make changes they feel ready for.
She holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. Kerry works with adults from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, offering options that suit different lives and schedules.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit those needs and adjust them as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier around a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or different time zones, while letting the therapist use the chosen approaches in ways that work online.
