Kerry Griggs

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, life changes, addiction issues and challenges linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue. Kerry offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can begin to talk about what is most difficult right now.

Kerry works from a person-centred stance and believes clients are experts in their own stories. She listens fully and aims to help people notice their strengths and inner resources. That often makes room for new ways of coping and clearer decision-making.

In sessions she may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit the situation. Attachment-based ideas also inform her work where early relationships shape current patterns. These approaches are used in simple, practical ways rather than technical language.

People sometimes come because they feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed or reactive. Kerry helps them make sense of painful feelings as natural responses to life events and past experiences. This can reduce shame and open options for change.

She is comfortable supporting LGBTQ+ adults and welcomes discussion of identity without unnecessary questioning. When helpful, Kerry can include breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based activities alongside talking, depending on each person’s preferences.

Kerry has eight years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people in the United Kingdom and with international clients in English.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by clarifying what matters and building small steps towards it. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy-related difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being fully present and offering empathic, non-judgemental listening so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. The choice is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be adjusted if something isn't helping.

The original biography does not state specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use approaches like breathwork or guided movement alongside talking, depending on what feels helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt person-centred and structured therapies to work well through remote sessions, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
