About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor and accredited member of the NCPS with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports those dealing with trauma, abuse and intimacy-related issues.
Kerry uses a person-centred way of working so sessions are largely led by the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work and elements of dialectical approaches when helpful to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
In practical terms she helps people name difficult feelings and look at how thoughts, behaviours and relationships interact. Conversations aim to be straightforward and focused on small, testable changes rather than abstract theory. Kerry also works with issues such as sleeping and eating difficulties, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Clients who have experienced bereavement, health anxiety, obsessive thoughts or abuse can discuss these concerns in sessions. Kerry offers space to talk through past and present problems and to plan steps toward clearer ways of coping.
She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom. Before booking, people are encouraged to check current session formats and scheduling options to make sure they fit their needs.
How her approaches guide online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. It uses structured tasks and short experiments to see what helps in everyday life.Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. It helps people understand triggers in relationships and try different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use together. That collaborative planning means sessions can include practical CBT exercises, reflective attachment work or a client-led conversation depending on what the person needs.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into work or family timetables, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can run structured sessions that mirror in-person work while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
