About Kerry

Kerry Perkins works on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting matters using client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She is a member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has three years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Kerry works in a straightforward way. She listens first and helps people talk through what is causing them most difficulty. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing patterns that keep problems going. She uses client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

People bring many different problems to Kerry. These include trauma and abuse, grief, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also supports work-related stress, workplace issues, career concerns and problems with intimacy. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, fatherhood issues and pregnancy and childbirth related worries.

Kerry aims to support parents with parenting strains and to help people manage family problems, boundaries and communication. She also works with issues such as abandonment, avoidant personality patterns, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation or loneliness.

Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting and trying simple cognitive or behavioural exercises between meetings. Kerry uses plain language and an open style that encourages people to try small changes and notice the effect. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session to agree aims and next steps.

How Kerry uses client-centred and CBT approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel heard, clarify their concerns and decide what matters most to work on. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and family communication.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, mood and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The counsellor will discuss the options, try things out and adjust the way they work based on the client’s goals and preferences. Clients and the counsellor agree aims and review progress together.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and making it easier to keep regular appointments. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and help maintain continuity during busy periods.
