Kerry Forster , NCPS

Kerry Forster is a fully qualified counsellor and an accredited member of NCPS, a professional accreditation for counsellors. She adopts an integrative style that draws on a range of therapeutic methods so each person can find the best fit for their needs.

At the heart of her work is a person-centred approach, meaning sessions are led by the client and focused on their priorities. Where helpful, she also uses Transactional Analysis (TA), psychodynamic thinking, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore patterns and challenge unproductive thought processes.

Kerry recognises that everyone encounters difficult emotions and life challenges that can leave them feeling confused, distressed or isolated, and that these issues often affect relationships. She offers a warm, safe and non-judgmental space in which people can bring concerns, examine difficult feelings and work toward meaningful change.

She has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including 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 their issues and make positive changes in their lives.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client’s own goals and pace, offering a respectful, empathetic setting where the person leads the conversation and discovers their own solutions. It is well suited to people seeking supportive, non-directive work around self-esteem, life changes or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours; it is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, low mood and health-related worries. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and connections, helping people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears or recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the mix of approaches over time as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without geographic constraints, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
