About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, parenting strain and life changes. Kerry works with adults from LGBT communities and people coping with trauma, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Kerry believes each person is the expert in their own story. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. The work begins by listening closely to what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Her style is person-centred. That means she stays present and follows what the client brings to sessions. Kerry also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when these fit the person’s goals.
Therapy sessions may include talking, and when welcomed by the client, breathwork, self-massage, movement or expressive art. Kerry helps people notice what holds them back, and find small practical steps to cope and make decisions.
She describes painful reactions as understandable responses to life events, childhood wounds or current pressures. Kerry works with clients to find their own resources and ways forward so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then commit to actions that match their values. It can suit those feeling stuck or overwhelmed and wanting clearer direction. Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard without judgement; the counsellor follows the client’s pace and priorities to help them find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and practical ways to test and change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. The plan can change as the work progresses and as what helps becomes clearer.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work from different locations and may make it simpler to keep appointments when schedules are busy.
