Kerry Griggs

Kerry Griggs is a BACP counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. She also helps with low self-esteem, depression, grief and coping with life changes. Kerry welcomes conversations about identity and LGBTQ+ experiences without judgement.

Kerry believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult times. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can say what they need to say. That presence and attentive listening are central to her way of working.

Her style is person-centred. Conversations are guided by what matters to the client rather than a fixed agenda. Kerry listens for what feels stuck and works with the person to notice small changes that make everyday life feel more manageable.

She uses practical tools alongside talking. These can include breathwork, self-massage, movement or creative expression if the client wants them. Otherwise sessions may simply focus on talking things through and finding new ways to cope.

Kerry helps people understand how past experiences, loss or social pressures contribute to current reactions. From that understanding, she supports clearer choices, improved coping and gradual shifts in how someone relates to themselves and others.

People come to Kerry when they feel numb, overwhelmed, reactive or unsure how to move forward. She works with them to find inner resources, rebuild confidence and take steps toward a steadier day-to-day life.

Therapy approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems like anger when behaviour change is needed.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotions. This approach can help when someone feels stuck in repeating relationship difficulties or struggles to trust themselves or others.

Kerry will work collaboratively to find the best fit between approach and needs. She will listen to goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as understanding grows. Deciding what helps is part of the therapy process rather than a one-off choice.

The biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and let someone choose a calmer time of day. It also allows trying short check-ins or longer therapy slots according to what suits the person’s schedule and energy levels.
