About Kerry
Kerry Perkins is a counsellor and member of the NCPS with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and anger. Kerry also supports those dealing with self-esteem, workplace issues and life changes.
Her style is conversational and practical. She listens with a client-centred approach and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful. Sessions focus on what is going on now, ways to manage strong feelings and steps to improve communication and boundaries.
Kerry pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating. She may work on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviours and practising alternative responses. This can help reduce reactive responses and build steadier ways of handling frustration and resentment.
She also explores how past experiences affect present reactions, including issues from childhood and attachment themes such as abandonment or avoidance. Work can include coping strategies for overwhelm, and practical tools for parenting stresses or relationship tension.
Kerry describes people as the experts in their own lives and offers validating support while helping them use their strengths. Her background includes client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy, used in combination to suit the person in front of her.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on the person’s own priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said and helps people explore their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want space to make sense of difficult emotions and relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT can help with anger that comes from recurring thoughts, workplace stress or anxiety and with practical steps to manage reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences. She works collaboratively, so the plan may change as sessions progress and as different needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to join without travelling. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity of care when life is busy, while still focusing on practical skills for managing strong feelings.
