Kerry Forster
QUALIFIED THERAPIST:
WORKS WITH ADULTS, TEENS & COUPLES

I am a fully qualified counsellor qualified to BA (Hons) level and a member of the BACP (MBACP), I work in an integrative way using a range of different modalities and therapies in order to find the right fit for you. The foundation of my work is person centred/humanistic therapy which involves a client led approach, but I also include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic modalities to ensure sessions are tailored to your individual needs.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor is central to successful therapy, and I offer a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore problems and challenges in your life.
I have taken additional training with a local sexual and domestic violence charity as well as a local cancer charity working with those affected by Melanoma. I have experience working with clients who have issues including anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, health anxiety, lack of motivation, self-esteem issues, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. I also completed additional training during covid to offer online and telephone counselling alongside face to face therapy.
I am interested in a holistic approach and am a huge advocate of selfcare and mindfulness believing that good mental health is vital to our overall wellbeing. I will often use this and psychoeducation in sessions to enable you to work with a mental health toolbox which will support you alongside counselling.
