Kerry Hooper, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings, helping them notice their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful for feelings such as low mood, anxiety, grief and questions about identity.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, practical steps that move things forward. Sessions focus on what someone wants to change and on building simple strategies that can be tried between appointments. It often suits people who want concrete ways to tackle stress, relationship concerns or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when useful. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when flexible timing helps fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
