About Kerry

Kerry Hooper is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She combines an honours degree in counselling with ongoing trainee psychologist study. Kerry works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression and LGBT issues.

Kerry keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She invites people to talk about what feels difficult and listens without judgement. Conversations set out what matters now and look for small, practical steps to make things more manageable.

Her background includes helping with bereavement, confidence and relationship problems. Kerry also supports people facing addictions, career uncertainty, intimacy-related worries and family problems. She has experience with chronic illness, caregiver stress, ageing issues and end-of-life concerns.

Kerry uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful working relationship and to focus on each person’s experience. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete changes and short-term goals that feel achievable.

Sessions are described as a place to talk about things however big or small they seem. Kerry encourages people who feel nervous or apprehensive to take the first step and will work at a pace they find comfortable.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment. The practice accepts international clients and works in English.

How her approaches are used in online work

Kerry draws on Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening carefully to the person and reflecting their experience back so they can clarify what matters. This approach helps when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief or low confidence because the emphasis is on the client's own perspective.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps and short-term goals. That method is useful for tackling specific problems like managing stress, improving communication or planning next steps in work or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then agree a way of working that fits the person’s needs. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding being on camera when someone prefers audio only. Registered professionals and therapists often find these practical options help people keep therapy consistent alongside daily commitments.
