Kerry Hulbert, BACP

Kerry Hulbert moved into counselling after a long and fulfilling career as a nurse and a midwife, bringing practical healthcare experience to therapeutic work. She has practiced in the United Kingdom as a counsellor and play therapist, supporting people through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and other life transitions. Kerry's practice is grounded in person-centered principles - offering acceptance and empathic listening - while also drawing on a range of therapeutic ideas so each client gets an approach tailored to their needs.

Kerry works with clients of different ages and backgrounds to help them explore difficulties, build coping strategies, and find ways to adapt or move forward. She emphasizes empowerment rather than advice, helping people develop their own solutions and resilience. Kerry is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to recognized professional standards and ongoing development.

Therapy with Kerry is collaborative and respectful of each person’s uniqueness. She acknowledges the courage it takes to seek change and offers steady support to guide clients toward a more fulfilling and manageable life, whether the issues involve relationships, loss, identity, or everyday stresses.

Client-Centered and Somatic Approaches for Online Support

Kerry often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work. This approach helps with emotional distress, low mood, and relationship difficulties by encouraging self-understanding and personal growth. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns from past relationships and unconscious influences that can affect current behaviour - useful for clients working with attachment issues, recurring difficulties, or unresolved loss.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as understanding deepens so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Kerry is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, while allowing sessions to be tailored to what feels most helpful for the client.
