Kerry Hooper
Compassionate counsellor focused on practical progress
About Kerry
Kerry Hooper is a counsellor with five years' experience who works from a person-focused perspective. She holds a BACP accreditation, and also has an honours degree in counselling. Kerry aims to make counselling approachable and straightforward for people who are unsure where to begin.
She keeps sessions simple and centred on what matters to the client. Kerry listens without judgment and helps people put words to difficult feelings. She makes room for practical steps as well as emotional processing, so clients can try small changes between sessions.
Background and approach
Kerry has helped people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and those coping with grief or low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues and challenges linked to addiction. Her practice includes work with LGBT concerns and life transitions such as career change and coping with major losses.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person's own goals and pace, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which helps people identify useful next steps. Kerry adapts these methods to a person's needs, so sessions feel practical and relevant.
She has worked with a broad range of additional issues including ageing and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, attachment and communication problems, and end-of-life and hospice matters. Kerry aims to be steady and approachable while people talk through difficult subjects. People are invited to start with a brief matching process and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.
Kerry accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries, and conducts work in English.

How Kerry’s Approaches Work Online
Kerry uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client's perspective at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said, and follows the person's own pace and goals. It can help when someone needs a supportive space to understand feelings and make choices.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. That approach centres on small, achievable goals and what is already working, which can be useful for problems like stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with the client shaping what is prioritised and how progress is measured.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and situations. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker or need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
