Kerry Hulbert is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression.

About Kerry

Kerry Hulbert is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make conversations easy to follow. Kerry’s background in nursing and midwifery informs her calm approach to support.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She spent many years working as a nurse and midwife before moving into counselling and play therapy.

Background and approach

That clinical background shaped her practical outlook and her respect for small, steady changes. Kerry uses a person-centred foundation - listening with acceptance and empathy - while bringing in other approaches when they fit the person’s needs. In sessions she focuses on what each person brings and how they want to change.

She may draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and somatic techniques to notice how stress sits in the body. The aim is to find ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day coping rather than offering quick fixes.

Kerry works with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, communication problems and family-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating-related issues, ageing matters and major life transitions. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Kerry has seven years of counselling experience and is listed with BACP. The therapeutic relationship guides the work, and she helps each person find steps that feel achievable.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead; online this means sessions prioritise what matters most to the client and move at their pace. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that come from past experiences and relationships, helping people recognise repeated reactions and consider alternatives. Somatic approaches pay attention to bodily sensations and how stress is carried in the body, using simple grounding or movement-based techniques that can be practised during a call.

Finding the right approach is often part of early sessions. Kerry will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as the work continues, adapting the plan if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a quicker check-in and text-based messaging supports brief reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
