About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and the stress of life changes. She also supports those facing grief, addiction concerns, trauma, and issues related to intimacy and identity. Kerry offers a welcoming space for LGBT clients who want to explore these concerns without unnecessary questioning.
Kerry believes people know their own stories and brings a person-centred approach to sessions. She aims to listen fully and witness what is happening for each person.
Background and approach
That listening helps people name painful feelings and begin to find ways forward. In sessions she works collaboratively to uncover inner strengths. Kerry uses practical tools alongside reflective conversation.
She may introduce breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based ideas when clients are open to them, or stick to talking when that feels best. Her practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioural techniques and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, with EMDR listed among her methods.
Kerry uses these approaches to help people cope, make decisions, and express themselves more easily. Those who meet Kerry can expect a warm, non-judgemental space and a steady presence while they make sense of difficult experiences. She aims to help people recognise what has held them back, find resources within themselves, and begin to navigate life with less stress.

Online support
How Kerry brings therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and feeling understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to identify and shift core emotional responses in relationships and personal life, helping with intimacy issues and emotional disconnection.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kerry will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adapts work over time so approaches fit what the person needs and how they respond.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit around work or care commitments. These options make it easier to book sessions from different places and at different times, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
