Kerry Perkins

Kerry Perkins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage anger alongside related concerns. She holds NCPS, which denotes her membership with a professional body, and brings three years of practice to her work. Kerry aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Kerry uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what keeps difficult feelings active. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) depending on what a person needs. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and offers practical ways to try different thoughts and actions between sessions.

In sessions Kerry helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, parenting strains, low self-esteem, grief and trauma. She also supports those facing workplace pressures, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy or body image. Kerry works with problems such as impulsivity, feelings of isolation, and difficulties linked to pregnancy and childbirth.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Kerry treats the person, not just the problem, and encourages people to use their own strengths. She helps set small, realistic goals and checks how new ideas feel in daily life.

To begin, Kerry asks people to share the story they feel comfortable with, then agrees practical steps together. She explains options clearly and moves at a pace that suits each person.

How Kerry Uses Client-Centred and CBT Approaches Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor offers an open, non-judgemental space where people lead the conversation and feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer thinking about their own choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which can be helpful for anger, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kerry collaborates with each person to decide whether a more reflective, person-centred way or a practical CBT focus will suit their goals. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It can also let people use camera-off options or telephone contact when they prefer less screen time. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help people apply therapeutic tools in everyday life.
