About Kerry

Kerry Perkins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She also helps with parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, grief and coping with life changes. Kerry uses straightforward, person-focused conversation to help clients make sense of what is happening and find manageable next steps.

She practises an approach centred on the person. That means listening first, then working from what each person brings to sessions. Kerry combines this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using simple ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She aims to keep sessions practical and grounded.

Kerry has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as her listed credential. She describes herself as insured in the UK and brings experience supporting people through family problems, trauma and issues around intimacy and boundaries. Her work also covers workplace stress and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps, such as building routines, practising new communication, or addressing shame and guilt. Kerry encourages people to draw on their own strengths while she offers supportive feedback and practical tools.

People often come to her feeling overwhelmed or stuck after a life change, a loss, or during pregnancy and early parenting. Kerry aims to make the first steps easier and to help clients create plans they can use between meetings. She asks clients to choose the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How Kerry uses client-centred work and CBT online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs space to be heard, to make sense of feelings, and to build confidence in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours and offers simple experiments to try different responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by giving clear tools to change unhelpful habits.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Kerry will explore your needs, goals and preferences together with you. That way decisions about methods and techniques are made collaboratively rather than assumed from the start.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing quick check-ins between appointments. It can also make sessions shorter when that is helpful, or avoid needing to be on camera if someone prefers audio only. The site asks you to confirm session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who practise Client-Centred Therapy and CBT, help clients use online sessions to learn new skills, manage symptoms and keep progress moving when life is hectic.
