Kerry Hatton, BACP

Kerry Hatton is a UK-based therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression. She works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and brings out clients' existing strengths while offering guidance and practical support to navigate difficult changes. Kerry encourages clients to take the first step toward greater well-being and recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and determination.

Kerry is credentialed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at building coping skills, improving confidence, and addressing the effects of trauma and loss. She offers an empathetic, collaborative style that focuses on clients' goals and personal values, helping them develop clearer direction and more effective ways of managing day-to-day challenges.

Kerry also works with issues related to attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control difficulties, relationship separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-stage transitions. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online access

Kerry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. She applies cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns while building practical skills for managing stress and low mood. She also offers trauma-informed approaches that prioritize safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of painful experiences, which can be helpful for those coping with abuse or past trauma. Additionally, Kerry provides grief-focused support that helps clients navigate loss and find ways to adjust to life after bereavement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kerry works collaboratively with each client to identify what feels most useful. Together they explore goals, preferences, and what methods resonate, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the work fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Kerry is designed for accessibility and convenience. Clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that format better suits their schedule or comfort. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistent work on stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma from different locations and time zones.
