About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck by focusing on what they need right now. She works with individuals across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her profile also lists support for phobias and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.
Kerry holds NCPS accreditation and has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Kerry uses an integrative approach so sessions are tailored to each person.
Background and approach
She centres conversations on the client's priorities and listens for patterns that cause repeated distress. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are used when thinking styles need to change, and emotionally focused work helps with connection and managing strong feelings.
Sessions are intended to feel warm and non-judgemental so people can talk about hard topics like trauma, bereavement, body image and intimacy-related worries. Kerry also works with issues linked to health problems, caregiving strain and life-stage changes. She aims to help people understand why they react as they do and to try different ways of coping.
Her background blends person-centred practice with techniques drawn from attachment-based ideas and dialectical skills. That mix allows for both reflective exploration and concrete skill-building. Kerry will help set goals and check progress as therapy continues.
Kerry offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Kerry blends approaches for online therapy
Kerry uses client-centred work that puts the person's priorities first and creates space to talk through difficult feelings. This approach helps when someone needs listening and reflection to make sense of their experiences.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, phobias, low mood and patterns that get in the way of daily life. When emotions run high, elements of dialectical behaviour therapy offer practical skills for managing distress and improving emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Kerry will work with each person to decide what fits best. She discusses goals and adapts methods as therapy progresses so the work remains collaborative and focused on measurable changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video lets body language and tone be part of the conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a busy day, while chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at different times.
