Kerry Hulbert, BACP

Kerry Hulbert is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the effects of trauma. She offers a calm, accepting presence and aims to help people feel understood while they work through difficult feelings and life changes.

She trained and practised for many years as a nurse and a midwife before moving into counselling. That clinical background influences her practical, down-to-earth way of working. Kerry has seven years' experience as a counsellor and uses a person-centred foundation to shape sessions.

In practice she listens first and follows the person in front of her. Kerry draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that keep recurring now. She may also use somatic methods to help people notice bodily signals linked to stress or trauma.

Kerry supports people dealing with abandonment fears, attachment struggles and family-related problems. She also works with those coping with chronic pain or long-term illness, cancer, caregiver stress, ageing issues, body image and eating concerns.

Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Kerry emphasises practical steps you can try between sessions alongside deeper reflection when that feels right. She encourages people to make their own decisions and aims to build resilience and clearer ways of coping.

Kerry works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her BACP registration is part of her professional details and informs her practice.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while helping people find their own solutions, which works well for anxiety, depression and life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns from earlier relationships and life events to understand how they shape current feelings and choices; this can help when someone wants to make lasting change rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on present coping skills at one stage and exploring deeper patterns at another, depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective notes between sessions or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on progress and connection with a registered or accredited professional.
