About Kerry Hyland
Kerry Hyland is an accredited psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a decade of clinical experience to her work.

Kerry adapts her techniques to suit individual needs, drawing on cognitive and behavioural strategies for anxiety, wellbeing and motivational methods, visualisation and other creative tools when these better fit a client’s goals.
Her background includes roles as a children’s counsellor in primary and secondary schools, a counsellor in a busy GP surgery, and employment as a university student counsellor. Alongside that work she runs a private psychotherapy practice and develops bespoke wellbeing workshops for individuals and groups.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kerry Hyland draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values - it is useful for anxiety, low mood and navigating life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, empathetic relationship in which the client’s experience is heard and respected; this approach supports self-exploration and confidence-building, and can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship difficulties and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry works with clients to explore their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the therapy feels personally suitable and effective for each individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, study, caregiving or travel. These formats allow Kerry and other licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support, maintain therapeutic momentum between sessions, and tailor pace and communication style to each client’s comfort and circumstances.
