About Kerry
Kerry Hyland is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also addresses grief, low self-esteem, addictions and a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Kerry uses hypnotherapy alongside psychological approaches to help people make practical changes.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She adapts each session to the individual and focuses on clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are conversational and grounded, with attention to what feels useful right now. Kerry blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to explore relationships and values.
Hypnotherapy and visualisation are used where they suit a person’s needs. She has ten years of experience in counselling roles across different settings. Past work includes school-based counselling, a busy GP surgery and university student services.
That range has given practical insight into mental health issues and everyday pressures. Sessions usually follow a short-term framework, shaped around the goals agreed with each person. Kerry also runs bespoke wellbeing workshops in addition to one-to-one counselling.
Her approach aims to help people find a stronger sense of agency and voice as they negotiate life changes.

Online support
How Kerry blends approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to you and uses simple exercises to change how you respond to difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by clarifying values and small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills for anxiety, sleep problems and mood. It often uses short exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Hypnotherapy involves guided visualisation and focused attention to support change in habits, confidence and motivation, and it can be helpful alongside talk-based work for issues such as sleep, habit change and managing anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a collaborative plan. That plan can change as progress is made, with techniques chosen to fit the individual's needs rather than following a fixed recipe.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, while chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and to continue work consistently over time.
