About Kerry
Kerry Hyland is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with young adults and others on common pressures such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief and relationship and intimacy issues. Kerry also supports people facing addiction, ADHD, body-image and eating concerns, and career or life-change struggles.
Kerry uses a blend of approaches that fit the person she is working with rather than a single method. That can mean drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques for managing anxiety, or client-centred listening for people who need to process loss or low self-esteem. She also uses acceptance-based ideas and mindfulness when helpful.
Her background includes work as a university student counsellor, a GP surgery counsellor and as a children’s counsellor in schools. She has three years' experience as a one-to-one mental health recovery worker in the community, which shaped her practical approach to supporting people with long-term or complex difficulties.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on practical steps as well as personal reflection. Kerry aims to help people develop clearer coping strategies, better emotional regulation and improved communication in relationships. She also runs bespoke wellbeing workshops alongside individual work.
People who meet her describe a straightforward, non-judgemental way of working. Kerry accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the service sign-up and schedule an initial appointment via the online booking pathway.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kerry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it is often used for anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can make sense of their experience and decide on next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options with each client and decide together which techniques to try first. That collaborative planning looks at the person's goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also reduce travel time and let people use therapy from where they are at the time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so practical skills can be practised between meetings.
