Kerry Hooper, BACP

Kerry Hooper is a practising counsellor with five years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds an honours degree in counselling and is also a trainee psychologist. Kerry aims to make counselling accessible and approachable for people at different life stages.

She offers a calm space for people to talk about what is worrying them. Kerry listens without judgement and helps clients work out what matters to them. She supports conversations about grief, low mood, anxiety and self-esteem among other concerns.

Kerry draws on client-centred ways of working that focus on each person’s experience. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help identify practical next steps. Sessions are shaped by what the client wants to achieve and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Her practice covers a wide range of everyday difficulties, including relationships, addictions, career worries and coping with life changes. She also has a focus on ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and end-of-life concerns. Kerry is comfortable talking about LGBTQ+ matters and related challenges.

People are invited to bring whatever feels important that week, whether that is a single problem or several things at once. Kerry encourages small, achievable changes alongside talking things through. She aims to be a steady companion through difficult moments and transitions.

How Kerry’s approaches work in online therapy

Kerry uses client-centred work that focuses on the person in front of her. This approach means the conversation follows what matters to the client and builds understanding from their point of view. It can help with feelings of loneliness, low mood and confusion about life changes.

She also draws on solution-focused methods that look for small, practical steps to try between sessions. This can be useful when someone wants quicker changes or clear actions for stress, work worries or relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry works together with each client to decide which way of working best fits their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift, and she will review progress with the client.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect from different locations, which helps those who live abroad or have mobility or caregiving commitments.
