Kerry Perkins

Kerry Perkins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and parenting concerns. She also helps with grief, self-esteem struggles, trauma and issues around intimacy and anger. Kerry works with people who are juggling workplace pressure, career questions and life transitions. Kerry’s approach is warm and down-to-earth. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thinking and behaviour patterns. Kerry aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier. She describes people as the experts of their own stories and offers validating, practical support. Conversations often look at clearer communication, boundary setting and ways to reduce overwhelm. Kerry also addresses body image worries, codependency and feelings of isolation when these come up. Kerry holds NCPS as a professional credential and has around three years of experience working with the issues above. Her work includes supporting people through pregnancy and childbirth challenges, fatherhood concerns and compassion fatigue linked to caring roles. Sessions tend to focus on building strengths and small, manageable steps. Kerry helps people try new ways of coping, reflect on patterns and set realistic goals. She encourages courage and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Kerry uses talking therapy online and different approaches

Kerry combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in ways that suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people feel heard. It helps with self-esteem, grief and relationship worries by making space to tell your story. CBT looks at how thoughts and actions interact and gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about what feels useful and what doesn’t. Together they set goals and try methods that match needs, preferences and the practical realities of daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking since current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help keep sessions consistent around work or family commitments. Registered professionals and therapists often find online sessions useful for continuing care during life changes and for using homework or CBT exercises between meetings.
