Kerry Hulbert, BACP

Kerry Hulbert is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and focuses on each person's individual needs. Kerry offers supportive, non-judgemental listening to help people make sense of hard moments and move forward at their own pace.

Before becoming a counsellor Kerry spent many years working as a nurse and a midwife. She then trained and practised as a counsellor and play therapist for several years and brings that background into her therapeutic conversations. Kerry holds BACP, which indicates professional recognition with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In sessions she draws on person-centred principles such as acceptance and empathy. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. Somatic approaches are used when talking about how the body holds stress and trauma.

Kerry supports people dealing with specific issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and family problems. She also works with those affected by chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain and bereavement. Her aim is to empower clients to understand their situation and find practical ways to cope and adapt.

Her practice emphasises collaboration; clients set the pace and shape of the work. Kerry encourages honest conversation about goals and practical steps for change. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How Kerry's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the person's own choices. It helps when someone wants a non-directive space to talk about values, goals and decisions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and childhood. It can help people understand recurring emotional responses and where they come from.

Kerry will work together with the client to find the right approach. That means discussing goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions. She adapts methods as the work progresses so the plan reflects the client's needs rather than a fixed technique.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them to focus. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly offer this flexibility so therapy can slot into everyday routines.
