Kerry Hulbert

Kerry Hulbert is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. She draws on a background in nursing and midwifery to provide steady, compassionate support. Kerry aims to create a space where people can talk through what is hard and work towards practical steps they can manage day to day.

She has seven years of post-qualifying experience working in the UK. Her practice is built on person-centred principles of acceptance and empathy. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her rather than on quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions.

Kerry uses an integrative approach and may draw on psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns and somatic awareness to notice how difficulties show up in the body. She also combines helpful cognitive techniques when they suit the situation and client goals. The choice of methods comes from what fits each person she meets.

People bring many different issues, including trauma and abuse, attachment concerns, body image and eating and food-related issues, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Kerry also supports those facing divorce, blended family stress, ageing worries, and communication problems. She aims to help people feel less stuck and find ways to cope and move forward.

Working with Kerry typically involves exploring thoughts, feelings and bodily responses together, then testing small, manageable changes. She encourages self-compassion and gradual progress rather than pressure to be different overnight.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on acceptance and listening. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them clarify what matters most. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past relationships to make sense of current struggles and emotional reactions. Somatic ideas bring attention to physical sensations and how emotions appear in the body, which can help with trauma, anxiety and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kerry will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She listens to what the client hopes to change and adjusts the approach as the sessions progress.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time, which makes regular appointments easier to keep. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or conversations without being on camera, depending on what the client prefers. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
