Kerry Hulbert, BACP

After a long and fulfilling career as a nurse and a midwife, Kerry Hulbert transitioned into counselling and play therapy, bringing a wealth of hands-on healthcare experience to her therapeutic work. She has seven years of experience supporting people through periods of stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression, and she draws on a person-centred foundation that emphasises empathy and unconditional acceptance.

Kerry integrates psychodynamic ideas to help explore patterns and early experiences that shape current difficulties, while tailoring practical techniques when they suit a person's needs. She believes counselling is not about giving advice but about empowering each person to explore their situation and find ways to adapt or move forward at their own pace. Her approach respects the uniqueness of every client and focuses on collaboration and personal agency.

Kerry works with people of different ages and life stages, supporting those facing life transitions, relationship challenges, loss, and long-term stress. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which represents professionally trained counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Kerry offers a calm, compassionate presence to help people take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment where the person is treated with empathy and acceptance. This approach helps individuals explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own route to change, which can benefit those coping with stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that emerge from past experiences and relationships and how they influence present behaviour and emotions. It can help people understand recurring difficulties, long-standing relational issues, and deeper emotional responses that affect everyday life.

Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotional experiences are held in the body, offering ways to work with stress, trauma, and physical symptoms alongside emotional processing.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kerry will work collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her approach as the work unfolds to support progress in a way that feels right for the individual.

Online therapy with Kerry is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or elsewhere and allow therapists and registered professionals to offer consistent support without requiring travel.
