About Kerry

Kerry Hyland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career pressures. Kerry works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar and coping with life changes.

Kerry draws on ten years of experience and a blend of psychological approaches.

Background and approach

She describes her work as warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to be practical and focused so people can see change without overly long therapy journeys. In practice she adapts her methods to the person in front of her.

For example she may use cognitive tools for anxiety or wellbeing and motivational techniques for someone needing direction. Kerry uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural ideas and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy.

Her background includes roles in schools, a GP surgery and as a university student counsellor, alongside independent practice and community mental health work. That mix has given experience across different settings and age ranges and informed her flexible style. Kerry is drawn to helping people who have lost their voice and aims to create a trusting space to be heard.

She also runs wellbeing workshops and offers one-to-one support focused on each person's goals. She welcomes conversations in English and works with clients across the UK and internationally.

Ways of working Kerry names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Kerry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss what matters to the individual and try methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan may change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and to choose the format that feels most practical.
