Kerry Hooper , BACP

Kerry Hooper is a counsellor with five years of practice and a BACP accreditation. She holds an honours degree in counselling and is training as a psychologist. Kerry aims to make counselling approachable and straightforward for people feeling overwhelmed or unsure about the next step.

Kerry works in a direct, respectful style. She offers a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She also helps people deal with relationship worries, issues around sexuality and identity, addiction, and problems with self-esteem.

In sessions Kerry uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace. She also draws on solution-focused work to identify practical steps and small changes that can make a difference day to day. Her way of working balances listening with helping clients build realistic goals.

Kerry has experience supporting people with life transitions, caring responsibilities and long-term health concerns. She has worked with bereavement, end-of-life issues, guilt and forgiveness, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She aims to meet each person where they are and adapt her approach to their needs.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which Kerry uses to fit therapy around busy lives. She welcomes people from across the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer to work in English.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. Kerry encourages small first steps and supports clients as they find what helps most for them.

Approaches and online delivery that fit your life

Kerry uses client-centred work that puts the person’s own goals and experience at the heart of each session. This approach is about listening closely, reflecting what matters to you, and letting the pace of change come from your priorities.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to help identify small, realistic steps and practical strategies. This is useful when someone wants quick ways to manage stress, improve sleep, reduce anxiety or get unstuck with a specific problem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry will talk with you about what you want to get from therapy and then suggest ways of working that match your needs and preferences. Together you will review how things are going and adjust methods as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules or travel commitments, and to choose the format that helps you engage most effectively.
