About Kerry

Kerry Hulbert offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She focuses on helping individuals make sense of painful experiences and find ways to cope that fit their life. Kerry aims to create a respectful, accepting space where someone can speak openly and begin to work through what feels heavy or confusing.

Her background began in nursing and midwifery, followed by seven years practising as a counsellor and play therapist in the United Kingdom. That practical health experience shapes a grounded, compassionate way of listening. Kerry draws on person-centred ideas that put the client at the heart of the work and emphasise empathy and acceptance.

She also brings psychodynamic thinking to help make sense of repeating patterns and deeper feelings. Somatic approaches are used when bodily experience and physical responses are part of the problem. Systemic ideas inform how relationships and family dynamics can influence a person’s difficulties.

Kerry works with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, grief and loss, as well as the stresses of caring, chronic illness, body image and attachment concerns. She supports those coping with divorce, blended family issues, and changes linked to ageing or illness.

Therapy is a collaborative process and Kerry encourages clients to set the pace. Sessions focus on what the individual needs right now, with practical ways to manage anxiety, build resilience and move towards a more manageable life.

How Kerry’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s needs and perspective at the centre of the work, focusing on empathy and acceptance to help someone feel heard and understood. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression and those needing a safe space to process difficult feelings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and how past relationships affect present behaviour. It can help uncover recurring feelings or reactions that make current problems harder to manage and is useful for addressing long-standing difficulties and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kerry will work with each person to decide which ideas to use and when, tailoring sessions to the individual’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work develops.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Kerry currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a familiar setting or who need more flexible scheduling. Ask about the specific session options when you arrange your first appointment to ensure they match your practical needs.
