Kerry Hooper

Kerry Hooper is a practising counsellor with five years of experience. She holds an honours degree in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kerry also trains as a psychologist. She aims to make counselling accessible and straightforward for people seeking help.

Kerry keeps sessions simple and person-centred. She offers a calm space to talk about grief, anxiety, depression, stress and relationship worries. Kerry also supports those dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and hospice and end-of-life counselling concerns.

Her approach is warm and respectful. She listens first, then helps people find practical ways forward. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, whether that is building confidence, coping with loss, or managing life changes.

Kerry draws on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. That means the conversation is guided by the person's needs, with attention to realistic steps they can try between sessions. She treats each concern as unique and adapts her style to the individual.

If someone feels nervous about starting, Kerry encourages a gentle first step. She guides new clients through a short matching questionnaire and the scheduling process. Her aim is to make the initial contact as straightforward as possible.

How Kerry's approaches translate to online counselling

Kerry works with client-centred therapy, which means she focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk about grief, identity, or difficult life changes and wants the counsellor to follow their lead.

She also uses solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps a person can try between sessions. This can be useful for tackling stress, low mood or relationship problems by breaking larger issues into manageable actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kerry will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and doable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote sessions help maintain continuity of support during illness, caring responsibilities or life changes.
