About Kerry
Kerry Hyland is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years' experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, self-esteem and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Kerry also supports people facing grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and a wide range of life changes and career concerns.
Kerry blends several practical approaches when she works with someone. She uses client-centred ways of talking to help people feel heard, alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and emotion-focused strategies can also appear in sessions where they fit the client’s goals.
Her background includes work in schools, a GP surgery and university counselling services. She has also worked as a one-to-one mental health recovery worker in the community, which informed her understanding of mental health conditions and ongoing support needs. Kerry runs a private practice and has experience delivering wellbeing workshops as well as individual therapy.
In sessions she tends to use short-term structures when that suits the person, and will use longer work where needed. Practical tools such as mindfulness, motivational techniques, visualisation and CBT exercises are commonly used. Kerry emphasises clear, direct conversation and collaborative planning rather than long, abstract explanations.
She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those with neurodiversity. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them. It supports working towards what matters to the individual, even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses targeted exercises to reduce anxiety, anger and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and a non-directive stance so the person’s own priorities shape the work.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Kerry will discuss goals and preferences with the client and pick techniques that match those aims. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can sit alongside work, study or caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver structured exercises, guided visualisations and practical CBT homework through remote appointments, helping people use tools between sessions and apply them to everyday situations.
