Kerry Hulbert , BACP

Following a long and happy career as a nurse and a midwife, Kerry Hulbert moved into counselling and play therapy in the UK, where she has supported people through periods of stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Her earlier clinical work in nursing and midwifery informs a compassionate, practical approach to care and to supporting clients across a range of life challenges.

Kerry’s practice is grounded in person-centred principles - unconditional acceptance and empathic listening are central to how she works. She adopts an integrative stance, drawing on psychodynamic understandings and practical CBT techniques when these fit the client’s needs, while valuing each person’s unique experience as the guide to the therapeutic work. She also holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

For Kerry, counselling is not about giving advice but about empowering people of any age or situation to explore their difficulties, adapt, and move forward. She describes the decision to seek therapy as a courageous first step, and she aims to support and empower clients as they take those steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Kerry Hulbert

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and resources guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, unconditional acceptance, and listening to help with stress, anxiety, life transitions, and feelings of emptiness.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that arise from past relationships and early experiences, helping clients notice recurring themes in emotions and behaviour. This work can be helpful for issues such as attachment difficulties, grief, and long-standing relational patterns.

Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and responses, inviting awareness of how stress, trauma, or chronic conditions show up physically. It can support people who experience tension, chronic pain, or whose distress is closely linked to body-based reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Kerry works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt the work as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from the comfort of home or other safe spaces.
