Kerry Perkins

Kerry Perkins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains and feelings of isolation and loneliness. She works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, parenting pressures and workplace difficulties. Kerry draws on practical approaches to help people cope with life changes and manage strong emotions like anger and shame.

Kerry is a member of the NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Kerry treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions involve clear, down-to-earth conversation and practical ideas to try between meetings.

Over three years she has worked with people on parenting and pregnancy concerns, family problems, and the impact of past trauma. She supports those coping with abandonment, codependency and body image worries as well as compassion fatigue and workplace stress.

Kerry aims to make taking the first step easier by offering steady, validating support. If someone wants a therapist who listens closely and offers simple, workable tools, Kerry offers that steady presence.

How Kerry's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the person feel understood. It aims to create an atmosphere where someone can speak openly, build self-acceptance and use their own strengths to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. It involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying practical experiments and building small habits that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to try first, and she will adjust the plan as goals and needs become clearer. The aim is to choose methods that fit the individual's situation and preferences.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life changes, while the collaborative process helps ensure the approach suits day-to-day life.
