Kerry Hatton, BACP

Kerry Hatton is a United Kingdom based therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and low self esteem and motivation. She brings a practical, evidence-informed approach while recognising that each person holds unique strengths and knowledge about their own life. Kerry works collaboratively with clients to explore what matters most to them and to build on existing resources to manage current difficulties.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including depression, relationship and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and challenges such as isolation, guilt and shame, and midlife transitions. Kerry emphasises a respectful, nonjudgemental process that acknowledges the courage involved in seeking change and aims to support people toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Kerry holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes professional affiliation with a UK counselling body. She is open to working with clients both within the UK and internationally, offering a supportive space to begin the process of change and growth.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online therapy

Kerry draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One core approach uses cognitive and behavioural strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills - this is often helpful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that creates careful, paced support for people recovering from abuse or distressing experiences, helping them process difficult memories and regain a sense of safety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry works with clients to explore their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which techniques fit best, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Kerry is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, access support from home or while travelling, and continue therapy around work, caregiving or health commitments while working with a registered professional.
