About Kerry
Counsellor Kerry Perkins is a member of the NCPS and has three years of experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Kerry focuses on helping people manage low mood, grief, parenting pressures and workplace strain as outlined in her profile.
Kerry works from a person-centred stance and also uses cognitive behavioural ideas. In practice she listens to what matters to each person and then helps them test out different ways of thinking and acting. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, with clear steps people can try between meetings.
She supports people dealing with past abuse and trauma, and with intimacy-related difficulties like trust and closeness. Kerry also works with issues such as self-esteem, body image, codependency and feelings of isolation. Practical matters like fatherhood issues, pregnancy and childbirth topics, and workplace problems are also within her focus.
Sessions often look at how daily habits, thoughts and relationships affect stress. Kerry uses conversation and exercises that help people notice unhelpful patterns. She also supports people who are coping with big life changes, loss and compassion fatigue.
Kerry asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first appointment so she can understand immediate concerns. People who contact her can expect a clear discussion about goals and practical next steps in early sessions.
How Kerry uses approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and follows the client's priorities, which can help with relationship issues, self-esteem and grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavioural experiments to test out different ways of thinking. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative and she will discuss goals and steps together. The profile does not specify session formats, so check which options Kerry currently offers before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools such as worksheets and guided exercises between meetings, which supports progress in day-to-day life.Areas of expertise
