About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, life changes, addiction and many LGBT concerns. Kerry works in a warm, respectful way so people can say what matters to them.
Kerry believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what they are struggling with now.
Background and approach
Kerry listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can start to make sense of painful feelings. Her approach is person-centred and collaborative. Sessions are about noticing what matters to you, finding inner resources, and testing small changes that ease daily pressure.
When helpful, she draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support clearer choices and coping strategies. Kerry also uses attachment-based ideas to make sense of relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles when intimacy is a concern. She may introduce simple practices such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or creative tasks if a client welcomes them.
Many people find these approaches help when words alone do not feel enough. Over eight years Kerry has worked with a wide range of life difficulties, including trauma, parenting strain, career stress and issues around identity. She welcomes conversations about goals and practical steps, and supports people as they try out different ways of living with less distress.

How Kerry’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being present and offering empathic listening so people can explore what they need at their own pace. This approach supports self-esteem and emotional clarity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful for relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerry will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She invites clients to try different techniques and checks in about what helps, adapting the plan as progress and needs change.
