About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions, life changes and intimacy-related issues. Kerry works with LGBT adults and people navigating challenges like parenting, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Kerry believes people know their own story and already carry strengths that can help them move forward. Her style is person-centred, which means she listens fully and offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most right now. Many clients find this approach helps them hear what they feel and make new choices.
In sessions she focuses on understanding how painful feelings and reactions make sense as responses to life events. That can include childhood experiences, losses, or pressures from work and society. Making sense of these patterns often helps people feel less stuck and more able to act differently.
Kerry combines person-centred work with methods drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused approaches. She may also, if it feels helpful, explore breathwork, gentle movement or simple self-massage alongside talking therapy.
She has eight years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kerry is based in the United Kingdom and welcomes conversations about what could help you next.
Approaches to try online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in ways that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, closeness and codependency. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and a non-judgemental relationship so people can discover their own answers and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will try ways of working that feel helpful. That collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, or to have a shorter check-in when time is tight. It can also reduce the need to travel and make access simpler for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as ACT worksheets, emotion-focused conversations and gentle movement ideas to an online setting, helping work continue between sessions.
