Kerry Hyland , BACP

Kerry Hyland is a UK-based psychotherapist with ten years of professional experience who brings a warm, grounded, and empathetic presence to her work. She integrates humanistic client-centered principles with cognitive and behavioural methods to create a flexible, creative approach tailored to each individual's needs. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she combines psychological theory, mindfulness, motivational techniques, and practical tools to support change and resilience.

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, alongside running a long-standing private psychotherapy practice. She has also spent three years working in the community as a one-to-one Mental Health Recovery Worker, experience that deepened her understanding of mental health conditions and informs her inclusive clinical work. In private practice she offers individual therapy and develops bespoke wellbeing workshops.

Kerry adapts her methods to the presenting issue - for example using cognitive behavioural techniques for anxiety or wellbeing, visualisation, and motivational strategies when these are more suitable. She often works within a short-term framework focused on establishing trust and fostering meaningful, lasting change. Her practice is inclusive and non-judgmental, with a particular commitment to empowering people who have felt unheard or marginalised. Kerry works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, neurodiversity, and many life transitions.
