Kerry Hooper is a practising counsellor with five years' experience. She holds an honours degree in counselling and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Kerry is also a trainee psychologist. She aims to make therapy accessible to people who want or need support.

Her work has included support for bereavement, depression and anxiety. Kerry has also worked with people addressing confidence, suicidal thoughts, relationships, work stress and issues related to sexual orientation. She treats concerns both large and small and invites people to use sessions to focus on themselves.

Kerry draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's priorities at the centre of therapy. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help set goals and identify small, practical steps that can create change. Together these approaches shape sessions that are conversational and practical.

People who choose Kerry often want straightforward support and a listening ear. She aims to help clients explore feelings, understand patterns, and try manageable strategies for coping. If someone is feeling nervous about starting, Kerry encourages a first step and offers steady support along the way.

How Kerry's approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people who need a safe space to talk, work through feelings and make sense of their experience. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at goals and practical steps. It is useful for people who want to try small changes, build confidence and see quick, manageable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation helps shape whether the emphasis is on open listening, short-term solutions, or a mix of both.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and everyday life. It can reduce travel time and make attending more convenient on busy days. Before booking, confirm the session formats Kerry currently offers so the practical arrangements suit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can use online sessions to maintain regular contact and build a steady therapeutic process without requiring you to change your daily schedule.
