Kerry Hooper

Kerry Hooper is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She holds an honours degree in counselling and is training as a psychologist. Kerry works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression, and those questioning life purpose after a change.

Kerry uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. She draws on client-centred and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical. That can mean listening first, then gently helping a person set short steps they can try between meetings.

Her background includes work around bereavement, relationships, work pressures and LGBTQ+ issues. Kerry also has experience with addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She describes sessions as a space for a person to talk about what matters to them and to find manageable ways forward.

In practice Kerry pays attention to everyday pressures - caregiving, long-term illness, isolation and ageing concerns are all within her remit. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, family problems and end-of-life matters. The approach is conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.

People who contact Kerry typically want clear, practical steps alongside reflective listening. She welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the online options.

How Kerry uses client-centred and solution-focused work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing, reflects back what is heard and follows the client’s pace. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings around loss, relationship strain or uncertainty about next steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable changes. Sessions look for practical steps and exceptions to a problem. This can suit people wanting concrete ideas to try between meetings, for example with stress, career doubts or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt how she works in collaboration with the client. That means trying options and checking what helps most over time.

The therapist's original profile does not list specific online formats. Confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with registered or accredited professionals from different locations while keeping sessions focused on practical steps and conversation.
