About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, low self-esteem and depression. She supports adults coping with life changes, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. Kerry also offers a respectful space for LGBT adults and those navigating parenting or family tensions.
Kerry works from the belief that each person knows their story best. She listens without judgement and looks for strengths the client already has.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what the client needs in the moment, whether that is talking things through or trying different ways to process feelings. Her style is primarily client-centred with elements from cognitive behavioural approaches and attachment-based thinking.
That means she focuses on the person in front of her, helps spot unhelpful patterns, and pays attention to how early relationships can affect current choices and feelings. Kerry aims to help people notice what holds them back and to build practical ways to cope. This can include exploring breathwork, gentle movement or creative options when wanted, alongside talking.
The intention is to make decisions and day-to-day life feel more manageable. She has eight years of experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Kerry works with people from different backgrounds and will discuss goals and preferences at the first sessions to shape the work together.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with low mood, worry and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in close relationships and the feelings that drive them, which can help with intimacy and communication difficulties.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try ways forward and adjust the plan if something does not fit, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits short check-ins and messages let clients reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments while keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
