Kerry Griggs, BACP

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, life changes, addictions and LGBT-related concerns. Kerry works with people who are struggling with sleep or eating issues, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She lists ageing and geriatric issues among her areas of focus.

Kerry believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. The aim is to listen closely and help clients find ways to cope better with painful feelings and reactions.

Her practice is grounded in a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the centre of each session. Kerry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful, along with attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused ways of working. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, manage difficult thoughts and make practical changes.

Sessions may also include creative options when wanted, such as breathwork, gentle movement, self-massage or simple art activities alongside talking. Kerry encourages a collaborative process - together they identify small steps that build resilience and reduce everyday strain.

She has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kerry sees people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who wish to work in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed steps to live a more meaningful life and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens with warmth and without judgement, which can help people feel heard, build self-compassion and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest how different methods might help. That way you can try approaches that suit your needs and adjust as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Kerry currently offers before booking. Confirmed options will show how sessions can fit around work, caregiving and other commitments. Online therapy can make it easier to attend when travel is difficult, allow a shorter check-in on busy days, or avoid the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt methods so exercises, reflections and practical tools work well at a distance.
