About Kerry

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with clients facing grief, low self-esteem, life changes, addictions and issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns. Kerry welcomes conversations about intimacy, parenting, sleep and eating problems, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Kerry believes each person knows their own story and strengths. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard right now. Kerry emphasises listening and being fully present so clients can hear what matters beneath painful feelings. Her style is person-centred and collaborative. Kerry encourages clients to notice their own inner resources and to practise small changes that fit everyday life. She may introduce gentle breathwork, self-massage, movement or art if that feels helpful, but will follow each person’s preference for talking or trying other approaches. Kerry frames difficult reactions as understandable responses to life events, childhood experiences, losses and the pressures people live with. That perspective helps people make sense of feeling stuck, numb, reactive or uncertain about decisions. Over time Kerry supports people to find clearer choices, better ways to cope and more satisfying ways of living. Her aim is to help clients become more able to manage stress, express themselves and make decisions they felt unable to make before.

Approaches that shape online conversations

Kerry uses a person-centred way of working alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make space for valued action, which can help with anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerry aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She will listen to what matters most and adapt the plan as you try things and learn what helps. The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have more frequent short check-ins or to arrange sessions around work and caregiving demands. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
