Kerry Hulbert helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She introduces a calm, listening presence so someone can talk through what feels hardest and start to make small changes. Kerry’s approach is gentle and person-focused, aimed at helping each person find their own path forward.

She trained and worked for many years as a nurse and midwife before qualifying as a counsellor. That background gives her practical experience of long-term illness, caregiving and medical-related stress.

Background and approach

Kerry has seven years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. In sessions she uses a person-centred foundation - offering acceptance and empathy while following each person’s priorities. She also brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and somatic methods to notice how the body holds tension.

Kerry adapts the mix to suit what a person most needs in the moment. Her work covers common life challenges such as relationship tensions, transitions, bereavement, and trauma or abuse recovery. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image and eating concerns, and changes linked to ageing.

Kerry offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions at a suitable time.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with acceptance and empathy, helping people to find their own solutions and feel heard. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression and people facing major life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier life experiences and how they show up now. It can help when past relationships or repeated reactions are getting in the way of feeling settled.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs and preferences. That shared planning helps shape session focus and how the therapist responds over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues for a fuller exchange. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who process best in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health demands while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
