About Kerry

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing grief, life changes, addiction concerns and issues related to sexuality and identity, including LGBT adults. Kerry aims to create a calm space where people can begin to make sense of what feels hard right now.

Kerry works from a person-centred stance, so she listens without judgement and follows each person's pace. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and that compassion and being heard often allow new choices to appear. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they want to try.

Her practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work. These approaches are used flexibly to match what a person brings through the door rather than as fixed recipes.

She often helps people notice how past experiences and current pressures shape feelings and behaviour. Together they look for inner strengths and new ways of coping, whether through talking, breathwork, movement, self-massage or creative activities when that feels helpful.

Kerry has worked in therapeutic roles for eight years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and welcomes people who want a respectful, steady listening ear and practical support to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being taken over by them, then clarify personal values and take steps that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based ideas focus on the patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections; this can help with relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and accepted, giving space for a person to lead the conversation and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kerry will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest ways of working that feel helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and can adapt them as understanding grows.

Please confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use approaches such as breathwork or guided movement while in a familiar setting, and it supports continuity when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you in choosing a pattern that fits your routine and goals.
