About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and sleep problems. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, anger and major life changes. Kerry works with LGBTQ+ adults and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds who want a non‑judgemental space to talk.
Kerry believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. She aims to listen fully and to reflect what she hears so clients can make sense of painful feelings. That understanding often helps people take small steps towards change and clearer decisions.
Her main way of working is person-centred, which means the client leads the pace and topics of sessions. Kerry offers a warm, steady presence and encourages self‑compassion while exploring what is holding someone back. She will also use practical ideas from approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies when these fit the client's needs.
Sometimes Kerry invites gentle body-based activities such as breathwork, self‑massage, movement or creative work alongside talking therapy, if the person wants that. Sessions are aimed at helping people find inner resources to cope with everyday pressures and regain better balance in life.
With eight years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Kerry works from a collaborative stance. If you are thinking about counselling she asks that you bring your questions and what matters most to you, so you can begin to explore next steps together.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kerry uses person‑centred care alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and learn to act in ways that match their values, which can ease struggles like anxiety or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and practising small changes that reduce symptoms and improve sleep or daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kerry will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. Together they will set goals, try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what does and does not help.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people combine talking with guided exercises, breathwork or creative activities where helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt these approaches to remote sessions so learning and progress continue even when meeting remotely.
