About Kerry
Kerry Hooper is a practising counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP accreditation, an honours degree in counselling, and has five years of clinical experience. Kerry aims to make counselling accessible and approachable for people facing difficult times.
Kerry offers a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. She knows starting counselling can feel daunting and focuses on listening first. Sessions are intended as a chance for the client to speak about their concerns and decide what they want to work on.
Her work has included support for grief, depression, anxiety, stress and self-esteem. Kerry has also helped people with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction-related concerns, and matters connected to LGBT identity. She also addresses career questions and coping with life changes.
Additional areas she often covers include long-term health and ageing concerns, caregiver stress, attachment difficulties, chronic pain or illness, and end-of-life or hospice-related matters. She also supports clients dealing with guilt, shame, isolation or a search for life purpose.
Kerry draws on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. That means she spends time understanding what each person needs and then helps them identify practical steps forward. The emphasis is on collaboration so clients can try approaches that fit their life and goals.
How Kerry’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. Kerry listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own answers. This approach is useful for people who need space to process feelings about loss, identity, relationship concerns or chronic illness.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. Kerry helps clients identify what is already working and build on it with short, achievable actions. This can suit issues like anxiety, stress, low mood or specific life changes where quick, focused direction is helpful.
Working out the best approach is part of the early sessions. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then agree a plan together. The process is collaborative and may combine listening with targeted tasks chosen to suit the client.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also be helpful when medical appointments, caregiving or work schedules make attending in-person sessions difficult.
