Kerry Forster offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She introduces a gentle, person-focused way of working so clients can talk through what matters at their own pace. Kerry uses plain language and practical steps to help people untangle difficult feelings and make steady changes.

Kerry draws on five years of counselling experience and is a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Background and approach

She uses client-centred practice as the starting point, then weaves in other methods to match each person’s needs. This flexible approach helps with low mood, grief, self-esteem and problems with sleeping and eating. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, obsessive thoughts, health anxiety and complex bereavement.

Kerry also supports those managing compassion fatigue, chronic illness or the pressures of major life changes. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape present ones. Sessions are collaborative and led by what the client brings.

Kerry will offer tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, skills to manage intense emotions, and ways to rebuild closer connections. Meetings aim to be practical and steady rather than rushed or overly clinical. People can expect respectful listening, clear explanations and small, achievable goals.

The style is warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on making progress that fits everyday life.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In short online conversations this approach helps people notice attachment patterns that affect trust and closeness, and develop different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, offering reflections that help people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT can teach simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical routines that improve mood and sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on goals, current difficulties and personal preference. The process is collaborative and may combine different approaches over time.

Online formats offer flexibility and easier access. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be used for shorter check-ins, while live chat and text messaging provide a way to keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments.
