Kerry Hulbert, BACP

Kerry Hulbert built a long and fulfilling career as a nurse and a midwife before moving into counselling and play therapy in the United Kingdom. With seven years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression, she brings a compassionate, clinically informed presence to each therapeutic relationship. She is associated with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Kerry's work is rooted in person-centered principles - offering unconditional acceptance and empathic listening while adapting methods to suit each client's needs. She uses an integrative approach that can draw on psychodynamic understandings and practical CBT techniques when helpful, always tailoring the mix of approaches to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. This flexibility allows her to address emotional patterns, past experiences, and day-to-day coping strategies in a way that fits the client's goals.

Rather than prescribing solutions, she focuses on empowering people of all ages to explore their difficulties, build self-awareness, and develop tools for change. Kerry encourages clients to take courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support and guidance throughout the therapeutic journey.

Approaches Kerry Uses for Online Support

Kerry draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and acceptance and is well suited to people seeking support with life changes, low mood, or difficulties in self-esteem.

She also incorporates psychodynamic therapy to help explore how past experiences and relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviours. This approach can be helpful for individuals working through long-standing patterns, attachment issues, or unresolved grief and loss.

When bodily experience is relevant, Kerry may use somatic techniques to bring awareness to how emotions are held in the body and to support regulation. This can assist clients coping with trauma, chronic stress, or persistent anxiety by linking physical sensations with emotional processing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kerry works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines professional guidance with the client's input to shape a personalised plan.

Online therapy with Kerry is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, helping clients maintain momentum in their work even when life is busy.
