Kerry Hulbert, BACP

Kerry Hulbert helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. She is a warm counsellor who focuses on listening first. Kerry aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to take small steps forward.

She trained and worked for many years as a nurse and midwife before moving into counselling and play therapy. That hands-on care background shapes how she meets people now. Kerry has seven years' experience in counselling and has a BACP membership, which she uses as part of her professional practice.

Her approach starts with the person rather than a fixed method. Kerry draws on client-centred principles of acceptance and empathy to help people feel understood. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas and may use practical techniques when they suit the person and their situation.

In sessions she focuses on what matters to the individual and why. She helps clients understand patterns that keep them stuck and supports them to make changes that fit their life. Kerry emphasises self-direction, not giving advice, and aims to empower people to find their own solutions.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and eating issues, and difficulties around family and communication. Kerry works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options with the service.

How Kerry’s approaches can work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and empathy. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through feelings and make choices about next steps.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from past experience that affect current feelings and relationships. It can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and make different choices over time.

Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body. This can be useful for people dealing with trauma, chronic pain or long-term stress, as it offers ways to notice and respond to physical signals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which combination of client-centred, psychodynamic or somatic ideas fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work moves forward.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation helps. It also offers ways to continue work if attending in person is difficult, while the therapist and client agree how best to work together.
