About Kerry Forster
Kerry Forster is a fully qualified counsellor and an accredited member of the NCPS, a professional counselling organisation. She adopts an integrative approach, blending different therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
At the heart of her practice is person-centred therapy, so sessions are primarily led by the client's concerns and goals. Where helpful, she also draws on Transactional Analysis, psychodynamic ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking and promote practical changes.
Kerry recognises that everyone encounters times of confusion, distress or isolation, and that these difficulties often affect relationships. She aims to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their feelings, discuss concerns and work towards the changes they want to make.
Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, obsessive compulsive disorder, health anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Kerry looks forward to helping clients explore issues and make positive changes in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Kerry Forster integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathetic, non-directive support where the client guides the pace and focus of sessions, useful for building self-awareness and confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns, helping with intimacy, abandonment and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive worry.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Kerry collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to clients' goals, preferences and experiences and together they adapt methods so work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while travelling, and fit sessions around work, family or other commitments, all delivered by licensed professionals and therapists experienced in online practice.
