About Kerry
Kerry Forster is a counsellor who focuses on helping people improve sleep and rest alongside other common struggles. She offers a calm, client-led space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and difficulties with sleep. Kerry uses straightforward conversation to help people make small, manageable changes that can improve daily life and nights alike.
Her sessions centre on person-centred work, so the client’s priorities shape each meeting. Kerry also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She adapts elements from attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches when relationships and closeness are part of the picture.
Over five years of practice Kerry has supported people facing trauma, abuse, eating concerns, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and identity-related issues including LGBT matters. She describes her approach as warm and non-judgemental, aiming to reduce isolation and help clients regain a sense of direction.
Kerry holds NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and this is used as the credential listed. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including with clients based outside the UK.
People who come to Kerry can expect a mix of listening, reflective feedback and practical strategies. Conversations may include examining patterns from the past, trying new ways of coping, and planning small steps to improve sleep, daily routines and relationships.
How Kerry’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and safety in relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current sleep, trust and reactions. It can be useful when disrupted attachment feels linked to anxiety or restless nights.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. Sessions emphasise being heard and understood, which can make it easier to talk about shame, grief or stress that disrupts rest.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking and routine habits that keep problems going. Simple CBT techniques often target thoughts around sleep and practical changes to daily routines that support better rest.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kerry will work collaboratively to figure out what feels most helpful, adjusting methods to match the client’s goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online therapy can fit more easily into busy lives by reducing travel and making it simpler to schedule short or regular check-ins. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Many people find online sessions useful for keeping momentum between in-person visits or for fitting support around work, caregiving and health demands.
