Kerry Perkins, NCPS

Kerry Perkins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and parenting pressures. Kerry works in English and uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to therapy.

Kerry draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen carefully and create a calm space for someone to tell their story. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with small steps agreed together.

With three years of experience and membership of the NCPS she offers steady, professional care. She focuses on everyday problems such as workplace stress, low self-esteem, body image and feelings of isolation. Kerry also addresses issues like guilt, abandonment, impulsivity and compassion fatigue.

People meet Kerry to talk through intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, fatherhood questions and pregnancy or childbirth concerns. She works with those facing family problems and codependency, helping them find clearer boundaries and better communication.

Kerry aims to combine warm listening with practical tools. That can mean reflecting feelings in the room, trying short behavioural experiments between sessions, or practising coping strategies together. The emphasis is on what helps a person cope and move forward, at a pace that suits them.

How Kerry's approaches work online

Kerry uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen deeply and follow what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and building trust so someone can talk openly about stress, relationships or parenting worries.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour by testing small changes and learning new ways to respond.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer to write, want quick reflections, or need therapy that fits around work and family commitments.

These options make it easier to keep continuity with therapy across busy lives and changing schedules while still working through the same practical steps and supportive listening that Kerry uses in her practice.
