About Kerry

Kerry Perkins is a counsellor in the United Kingdom and a member of the NCPS. She has three years of professional experience. Kerry works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions and depression.

She uses clear talking and practical techniques in sessions. Kerry draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns, test new responses and manage strong emotions. She aims to make sessions direct and understandable rather than full of jargon.

In practice she listens for how past experiences influence present behaviour. Kerry helps people try different ways of responding to anger, frustration and difficult conversations. She works on small, doable steps so progress feels manageable between sessions.

She also supports people with issues such as abandonment, avoidant personality patterns, body image, codependency, fatherhood questions, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, self-love and women's issues. Work might include building clearer boundaries, improving communication or reducing workplace stress.

Kerry expects therapy to be collaborative. Sessions focus on immediate problems and practical coping strategies alongside exploring underlying patterns. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel understood. It supports people who need to talk through emotional material, relationship worries and self-worth issues by prioritising the person's experience and pacing.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides practical tools such as noticing automatic thoughts, testing assumptions and practising new responses for anger, anxiety and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques together and adjusting what helps most over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions suit a work break or family routines. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical advantages to help clients apply skills in day-to-day life.
