About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, identity issues for LGBT adults, and coping with major life changes. Kerry works in a warm, non-judgemental way and believes people already hold strengths to build on.
Kerry treats each person as the expert on their own story. She offers a calm space where people can say what they need to and be heard.
Background and approach
That listening often helps painful feelings make more sense and reveals new ways forward. Her approach is client-centred, so sessions focus on the person rather than on labels. Kerry draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance and commitment work when helpful.
She also uses attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships affect wellbeing. Sessions can include talking, and when welcomed by the client, gentle body-centred techniques such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or creative activities. Kerry aims to help people notice their own resources and build everyday skills to manage stress and make clearer choices.
She brings eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration with practice in the United Kingdom. Kerry offers support in English and sees people both in the UK and internationally by online methods.

How Kerry’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on small practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape responses today and can be useful when patterns in relationships cause pain or confusion.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and may blend ideas from different approaches as the work evolves.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for people who prefer writing, want flexible check-ins, or need brief support between sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible around work, family and daily life.
