About Kerry

Kerry Hulbert helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes using a person-centred way of working. She uses acceptance and empathy as the base for her sessions and combines this with other approaches to suit each person. Kerry is a BACP counsellor and has seven years' experience in counselling in the United Kingdom.

Her earlier career was in nursing and midwifery, and she brings that background to her counselling work. She explains things plainly and encourages clients to talk about what matters to them. Kerry does not give advice; she supports people to make their own decisions and to find ways of coping that work for them.

Her practice draws on client-centred principles alongside psychodynamic ideas and somatic awareness. She may look at how past relationships influence present feelings and how the body holds stress. Sessions can include gentle attention to physical sensations as well as talking about thoughts and emotions.

Kerry also attends to practical life stresses such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, family problems and life transitions. She works with issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, eating concerns, and communication difficulties. Her approach is to notice patterns and help people try different ways of responding.

Sessions are delivered in English and she practises in the United Kingdom. Kerry's seven years of counselling experience follow a long career in health care, and she combines that practical experience with her counselling work.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session and focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting self-directed change. It helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression and grieving losses.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and patterns influence present feelings and reactions. It can be useful for issues such as attachment, abandonment and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss different ways of working with each client and agree what to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together rather than imposed by the therapist.

The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. For practical details about formats and scheduling please confirm current session options before booking, as the supplied biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals often offer online sessions that make it easier to attend from a range of locations and to keep sessions part of everyday life.
