Kerry Forster, NCPS

Kerry Forster is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She also works with grief, self-esteem and depression, and with intimacy-related issues and trauma. Kerry uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client in the lead during sessions.

She trained and is an accredited member of the NCPS. That registration is listed as NCPS. Kerry blends different approaches to suit each person rather than relying on a single method. Commonly she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and test unhelpful thinking patterns.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Kerry says many problems show up in relationships, and she helps people consider how their connections with others affect their wellbeing. Practical steps and clearer thinking are used alongside listening and emotional support.

She has five years of practice experience working with a wide range of concerns. Her caseload has included survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, obsessive compulsive disorder, health anxiety, low motivation and bereavement. Kerry will work with each person at their own pace to make changes that feel manageable.

People can expect an approachable counsellor who tailors methods to the problem at hand. Kerry aims to help clients understand patterns, build coping skills and move towards clearer choices in daily life.

How therapy approaches adapt to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early connections shape feelings. Online sessions using this approach look at patterns in current relationships and help people understand and change how they connect with others.

Client-centred counselling puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, and supports people to find their own insights and next steps. This suits those who want a gentle, explorative way to address emotional pain or life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them through small experiments. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and many practical problems because it offers clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed together.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, fewer travel commitments and the option to choose simpler check-ins when energy is low. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online and in-person options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these formats to help people maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday responsibilities.
