Kerry Griggs
Warm, person-centred counselling for life’s challenges
About Kerry
Kerry Griggs helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, life changes, addictions and issues related to intimacy and family. Kerry works with people from LGBT communities and accepts international clients.
She has eight years of experience and holds BACP registration, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Kerry treats the person, not only the problem.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She offers a space where someone can talk about what matters most right now. The aim is to help people notice their own strengths and make practical steps forward.
Her work draws on client-centred approaches alongside cognitive and emotion-focused methods. Kerry uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when they help make sense of a person's experience. She adapts the approach to what the individual finds most useful.
Sessions can include talking, gentle body-based options such as breathwork or movement, and creative ways of working if the person wants them. Kerry emphasises listening and being fully present so people can better understand their reactions and feelings. Kerry explains difficult experiences as natural responses to life events, relationships and social pressures.
That perspective helps people move from feeling stuck to clearer decision-making and increased confidence. She works at a pace set by the person in front of her. People who feel numb, overwhelmed, unable to make choices or constantly reactive may find it useful to begin a conversation.
Kerry welcomes a diverse range of clients and offers a respectful, accepting way to explore what is getting in the way of a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact, and offers straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and shift repeated relational responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods match best. That collaborative process means the plan can change as people learn what helps them most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow visual connection and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and to keep continuity of care when location changes.
