About Kerry

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and big life changes. She supports adults dealing with relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns. Kerry aims to offer a calm and welcoming space where clients can begin to make sense of what feels overwhelming.

Kerry works in a person-centred way and believes each person knows their own story best. She listens closely and stays present so clients can name what hurts and what matters to them. Conversations focus on finding small, practical steps that make life feel more manageable.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas. Kerry will meet you where you are and discuss which methods fit your needs and goals. She also sometimes uses breathwork, movement or creative tasks when those feel helpful.

Across eight years of work she has supported adults through family conflict, parenting strain, trauma, grief and issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue. Kerry aims to help people reconnect with their inner strengths and make decisions they felt unable to make before.

Sessions are offered in English and Kerry accepts international clients. She describes her role as companion and guide, helping clients develop ways to cope, rebuild meaning and move towards more enjoyable daily life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Kerry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people understand and shift those patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways to blend methods. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people also find it easier to try breathwork or movement-based tasks in sessions conducted remotely, while others prefer talking only; Kerry will discuss what suits each person.
