About Kerry
Kerry Perkins is a counsellor in the United Kingdom and a member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). She has three years of professional experience. Kerry works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family strains, parenting concerns, self-esteem and trauma and abuse.
Kerry uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She listens first and helps people clarify what matters to them. Sessions look at patterns that keep causing distress, such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or coping around someone else’s moods or drinking.
Her practice blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means she pays attention to the person’s experience while also trying practical changes in thoughts and behaviours. People often bring issues like grief, intimacy-related worries, anger, workplace stress and life changes.
Kerry also supports people with concerns around abandonment, body image, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, pregnancy and fatherhood issues. She works with each person on small, manageable steps. This often includes clearer boundaries, communication skills and ways to reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are conversational and aim to be clear and practical. Kerry expects clients to help set goals and to try things between sessions. She uses the NCPS membership as part of her professional standing in the UK and offers work in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone feels lost in a relationship or unsure how to set boundaries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to try out new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, overwhelm and patterns like people-pleasing or codependent behaviours.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options and help decide what fits a person’s needs, goals and day-to-day life. That means combining listening with practical steps and agreeing what to try between sessions. The plan is collaborative and reviewed as things change.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. It can also make it simpler to focus on particular skills such as boundary-setting or managing anxious thoughts without needing to be away from other responsibilities.
