About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor who focuses on helping men with everyday struggles and deeper life issues. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way so people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and issues around self-esteem. Kerry uses a person-centred approach so sessions are led by what the client brings to the room.
She blends several approaches to suit different needs rather than following a single method. Kerry draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present responses.
Clients can expect a straightforward, compassionate space to talk through symptoms such as grief, trauma, eating or sleeping problems, burnout and compassion fatigue. Kerry has experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, sexual abuse recovery, health anxiety and identity matters such as LGBT issues.
Kerry has five years of counselling experience and is an accredited member of the NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Her practice is in the United Kingdom and she works in English.
She aims to help people make practical changes they can use day to day. Early sessions focus on what needs to change and on small steps the client feels ready to try, with the style and pace adjusted to each person.
How Kerry's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and closeness. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the client's concerns guide the work; online sessions follow the person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical steps and exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry works collaboratively to decide what best fits a client's goals and preferences. Early meetings are used to identify priorities and agree on practical steps the client can try, and the plan can be changed as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helps them fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Sessions can also allow quieter check-ins or shorter meetings when time is limited, and tools like worksheets or between-session tasks are easy to share and follow up on.
