About Kerry

Counsellor, NCPS member, 3 years' experience. Kerry Perkins helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns using client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques.

Kerry uses straightforward conversation to understand what is causing strain. She listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour, then offers practical steps to try between sessions. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting and keeping boundaries, and managing feelings like anger, shame or overwhelm.

She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. For parenting and pregnancy-related concerns she talks through expectations, roles and coping strategies. Workplace problems, career stress and compassion fatigue are covered with an aim to make work feel more manageable.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means Kerry stays grounded in what each person brings and uses structured techniques when they help. She encourages small experiments and reflections that can change day-to-day patterns.

Kerry is a member of the NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary with location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Kerry uses client-centred and CBT work online

Kerry draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centred work means she pays close attention to the person in front of her and reflects what they say so they feel heard. It helps with issues of self-esteem, shame and relationship concerns by building clearer self-understanding.

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Kerry uses CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to test small behavioural changes. That approach suits anxiety, stress, low mood and practical problems at work or in parenting.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Kerry will discuss which methods feel most useful and adapt sessions around each person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on one model.

Confirm the session formats Kerry currently offers before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simple to schedule sessions during breaks or between commitments while still doing focused therapeutic work.
