Kerry Hyland, BACP

Kerry Hyland is an accredited psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of clinical experience. She is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a blend of psychological models and humanistic practice to tailor work to each person.

Her approach blends client-centred principles with cognitive and behavioural methods, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and other creative practices. Kerry adapts techniques to the needs of the individual - for example using CBT strategies for anxiety or motivational and visualisation methods where those are more appropriate - aiming to establish a strong therapeutic relationship quickly and work within a focused framework to support lasting change.

Kerry has worked across diverse settings and age ranges, including roles as a children’s counsellor in primary and secondary schools, as a counsellor in a busy GP surgery, and as a university student counsellor. She also has experience as a one-to-one mental health recovery worker over three years and has created and run bespoke wellbeing workshops. In addition, she has experience running a private psychotherapy practice, supporting individual clients and designing group wellbeing work.

Her clinical interests cover a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment and communication problems, neurodiversity, chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation, and divorce or separation.

Kerry integrates a wide set of therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), hypnotherapy, mindfulness therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She describes her practice as inclusive and non-judgmental, bringing warmth, grounded presence, and empathy to her work.
