About Kerry

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She also helps with grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, LGBTQ+ issues and the challenges of life change. Kerry offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk and to begin making small changes.

Kerry believes people know their own stories and brings a person-centred attitude to sessions. She listens fully and helps clients notice strengths they already have. That listening can make painful feelings easier to name and work with.

Her approach draws on client-centred practice alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas. She also uses attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ways of working when these fit a person's needs. Kerry can include simple practical tools such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or creative activities when that is wanted.

Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical steps the client can try between meetings. Kerry emphasises compassion for difficult reactions and looks for small, steady changes that make life feel more manageable. She supports people to make decisions, improve communication and build confidence.

With eight years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Kerry works in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to start a conversation and explore whether her way of working feels like a good fit.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small, values-led steps. It is useful for anxiety, rumination and feeling stuck. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood; the counsellor aims to offer warm, non-judgemental presence so clients can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and suggests practical exercises to test and change them, which can help with low mood, worry and unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss client goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted over time as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different kinds of check-ins such as brief conversations or longer sessions. It also means practical tools like breathwork, movement or creative activities can be guided during a session in ways that suit everyday life and routine.
