About Kerry
Kerry Hooper is a practising counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She also holds an honours degree in counselling and is a trainee psychologist. Kerry works with young adults and others on common pressures of early adulthood and life transitions. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and identity concerns, including LGBT issues and relationship difficulties.
Kerry uses approaches drawn from Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and finding practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. Conversations are intended to feel like a focused time to talk through whatever is most pressing for the person in front of her.
Her background includes work with bereavement, low mood, suicidal thinking, confidence and employment-related stress. Kerry also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, family problems and addiction-related concerns. She mentions additional work around caring roles, chronic illness, ageing and end-of-life issues.
Sessions aim to identify small, achievable changes as well as longer-term goals. Kerry welcomes people who may be nervous about starting counselling and offers steady practical support while options are considered. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online service button.
How Kerry's approaches fit with online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's perspective and relies on the counsellor offering attentive listening, reflection and acceptance. It is useful for people coping with anxiety, low self-worth, identity questions and relationship concerns because it focuses on understanding what matters to the individual.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, concrete steps and small experiments to move forward. It concentrates on what is already working and builds brief, achievable goals. This approach can suit people who want clear actions for stress, career decisions or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss how these methods might help and will collaborate with the client to decide what to try first, adjusting the plan as needs and goals become clearer.
