About Kerry

Kerry Forster offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She uses straightforward, client-led conversations to help people understand what matters to them and work towards clearer next steps.

Kerry is an accredited member of the NCPS, which she lists as NCPS. She practises in the United Kingdom and brings five years of counselling experience. Sessions are led by the person attending, so what happens in a meeting follows the client’s pace and priorities.

Kerry uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She works from a client-centred base and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking. Emotion-focused and attachment ideas also shape how she looks at relationships and close connections.

Clients come with many concerns, including grief, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and career-related stress. Kerry also notes experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and long-term health or caregiving stresses.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful feelings and confusing thoughts. The focus is practical change and clearer ways of coping, shaped together with the person in the room.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kerry works from a client-centred base where sessions follow the person’s priorities. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting, helping people to make sense of feelings and decide what to change. It suits anyone who wants a supportive space to talk through upsetting or confusing issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical steps and exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build different behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss which methods might help most, and she chooses techniques with the client based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your routine.
