Kerry Hooper, BACP

Kerry Hooper is a practising counsellor who brings a thoughtful and compassionate approach to supporting people through difficult moments. She is fully qualified and registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and holds an honours degree in counselling. In addition, she is training as a psychologist to further develop her skills and understanding.

Kerry believes counselling should be accessible to anyone who wants or needs it, and she creates a safe, personal space in sessions where clients can explore what is happening in their lives. She recognises that beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to offer steady support while helping each person find the way forward that suits them best.

Her work has included supporting people experiencing bereavement, depression, anxiety, low confidence, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, workplace issues, stress, self-esteem concerns, and matters affecting LGBTQ+ clients. Kerry treats issues of all sizes as worthy of attention, and she accompanies clients step by step as they talk through their concerns and consider practical next steps. She welcomes the opportunity to help people take that first step towards receiving support.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the client is guided to explore their feelings and values. The therapist listens empathically and helps people deepen self-understanding, which can be useful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented, emphasising strengths and practical steps toward change. It helps clients identify small, achievable goals and build strategies that address stress, life transitions, and specific problems in a focused way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and to choose or adapt methods that fit each person’s situation. This means techniques can be tailored over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or clients living abroad. These options allow registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent support, make it easier to maintain regular appointments, and offer multiple ways for people to engage in therapy that suit their comfort and lifestyle.
