About Kerry Forster
Kerry Forster is a fully qualified counsellor and an accredited member of the NCPS, a professional counselling register that recognises trained practitioners. She practises in an integrative way, drawing on a variety of therapeutic methods to find the best fit for each person. At the heart of her work is client-centred therapy, which means sessions are led by the client and tailored to their priorities. When helpful, she also incorporates approaches such as Transactional Analysis, psychodynamic techniques, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to examine and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and habits.
Kerry recognises that everyone encounters difficult emotions and life challenges that can leave them feeling confused, distressed, or isolated, and that these struggles can affect close relationships. She offers a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore concerns, process grief and loss, and work through experiences of anxiety, depression, health anxiety, obsessive compulsive tendencies, low motivation, and issues with self-esteem. She has experience supporting survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and guiding people through bereavement and other significant losses. Kerry aims to help people identify practical steps and inner resources to facilitate the changes they want in their lives and to support them as they work toward greater wellbeing.

Integrative approaches for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional needs and patterns in current relationships. It can help people understand long-standing relational responses, improve closeness, and address fears of abandonment or detachment.
Client-Centred Therapy centres on the client's experience and fosters a supportive, empathic space where the person directs the pace and focus of work. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and a stronger sense of agency when facing life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, offering practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviours. It is often applied to anxiety, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses so it remains relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and to fit sessions into busy lives. These options allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care that accommodates individual schedules and communication styles.
