About Kerry
Kerry Hyland is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and codependency. Kerry also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and difficulties linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
Kerry adapts her work to each person rather than using one fixed method. She blends client-centred practice with cognitive and behavioural ideas, and draws on mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Her background includes roles as a children’s counsellor in primary and secondary schools, a counsellor in a busy GP surgery, and a university student counsellor. She has also worked as a one-to-one mental health recovery worker in the community, which broadened her understanding of a wide range of mental health issues.
In private practice she offers short-term focused work when that suits the client, and she also runs workshops on wellbeing. Kerry often uses visualisation, motivational techniques and a mix of psychological tools to help people change habits and tackle avoidance and control issues.
She describes her counselling as inclusive and non-judgemental, and aims to help people who feel they have lost their voice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to agree goals and a way of working.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote working
Kerry commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it focuses on actions that fit personal values. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session and emphasises being listened to and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry will work with each client to decide which methods fit best, based on their goals, patterns and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins if time is limited, or conversations without video when that helps with concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to keep therapy practical and manageable alongside everyday life.
