Kerry Hyland, BACP

Kerry Hyland is an accredited psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with ten years of clinical experience. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a blend of psychological models to support people through periods of stress, loss, anxiety and change.

Kerry uses a creative, person-centred approach that combines humanistic Client-Centred therapy with cognitive techniques and elements of hypnotherapy when appropriate. She adapts methods to individual needs, for example focusing on cognitive behavioural strategies for anxiety or using motivational and wellbeing techniques, visualisation and NLP for other concerns. Her practice is informed by mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and polyvagal ideas alongside motivational psychology and other creative practices.

Her background includes work as a children’s counsellor in primary and secondary schools, a counsellor in a busy GP surgery, a university student counsellor and the operator of a private psychotherapy practice that also offers bespoke wellbeing workshops. She has three years experience as a one-to-one Mental Health Recovery Worker, a role that deepened her understanding of a wide range of mental health conditions.

Kerry’s work focuses on empowering people who feel they have lost their voice. She describes her approach as warm, grounded and non-judgmental, offering inclusive support across issues such as anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, neurodiversity and LGBT matters, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and career challenges.
