Kerry Hulbert
Compassionate counsellor for life transitions
About Kerry
Kerry Hulbert helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to make sessions feel like a steady place to talk things through. Kerry's first paragraph of care focuses on understanding each person's situation and what they want to change.
Kerry trained and practised for many years as a nurse and midwife before moving into counselling and play therapy. She has seven years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which means she follows the standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Her background gives her practical experience of supporting people through health-related and life transitions. Her work is grounded in client-centred therapy, so the person is at the heart of every session. Kerry also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and somatic approaches to notice how the body and feelings connect.
She adapts what she uses to match each person's needs rather than applying a fixed formula. In sessions she focuses on listening with empathy and helping people build skills to cope. This can include making sense of past experiences, addressing relationship patterns, or finding ways to manage overwhelming emotions.
Kerry avoids giving direct advice and instead supports people to find their own solutions. People seeking help can expect a collaborative and steady approach that balances talking with practical ways to live differently. Kerry aims to help people take small, manageable steps toward more stability and wellbeing.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Kerry uses client-centred therapy to place the person and their goals at the centre of each session. That means the counsellor listens first and follows the pace the person sets, helping them feel heard and understood and supporting practical steps forward.She also draws on somatic therapy, which pays attention to bodily sensations and how they relate to emotions. This can help when anxiety, trauma or long-term stress show up in the body as tension, sleep problems or other physical reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than using a single technique for everyone. This exploration happens alongside regular sessions and can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when that matters, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins, live chat suits quick exchanges or people who prefer typing, and text-based messaging helps keep a record of reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or mobility limits while maintaining regular support from a registered and accredited professional.
