About Kerry
Kerry Hooper is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds an honours degree in counselling and is training as a psychologist. Kerry believes counselling should be available to anyone who feels they need it and aims to make the first step less daunting.
Kerry offers a listening space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on the individual's concerns, whether those are stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or questions about identity and relationships. She also supports people facing life changes, career challenges, chronic illness or caregiving strain.
Her practice draws on client-centred work that prioritises the person's own experience and pace. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help identify small, practical steps that can make a difference between sessions. Kerry combines these approaches to suit each person's goals and preferences.
People come to Kerry for a wide range of issues including depression, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also has experience with end-of-life and hospice-related conversations and helps people think through complex family and communication problems.
If someone wants to begin, Kerry asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. She aims to support people through the nervous first steps and to work alongside them as they decide what helps next.
How Kerry's approaches translate to online work
Kerry uses client-centred therapy and solution-focused therapy in her practice. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the person's concerns, and helps them make sense of their experience at their own pace. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with grief, identity questions, or feelings of isolation.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working. It is useful when someone wants to make changes in everyday life, manage stress, or tackle a particular problem such as work strain or relationship communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit them best. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins around work or caregiving commitments. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
