Kerry Forster, NCPS

Kerry Forster is a counsellor who aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or changes in their relationships. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way so people can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions are led by the client and shaped to meet their needs.

Kerry practises person-centred work as the core of her approach and brings in other methods when they will help. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections.

She has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns including grief, bereavement, self-esteem, depression, obsessive thoughts and health anxiety. Kerry has also worked with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and with people managing long-term health issues or caregiving stress.

Kerry is an accredited member of the NCPS, which she references as her professional registration. She has practised for five years and combines different approaches to find what fits each person. Her work is collaborative and focused on practical steps people can try between sessions.

People who come to Kerry can expect a calm space to explore feelings, look at patterns that keep problems going, and plan small changes. She encourages realistic goals and pays attention to how relationship patterns and everyday habits shape wellbeing.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and patterns in close connections; it can help people understand why they react a certain way in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the client directs the conversation and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits, with practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and may mix approaches to suit changing needs. This discussion happens early on and can be revisited as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing quicker check-ins during work breaks. It can also offer alternatives when a shorter or less visual session is helpful, such as an audio-only check-in or a focused 20-minute appointment, depending on what the therapist offers. Registered or accredited professionals can recommend practical ways to make remote work effective for each person.
