Kerry Griggs supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also helps with low self-esteem, grief, addictions, coping with life changes and intimacy-related concerns. Kerry works with adults across a wide range of issues, including ADHD, compassion fatigue and career pressures.
Kerry believes people know their own story and have strengths to draw on. She offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk and be heard. Sessions are about listening, noticing what gets in the way, and finding small steps that help.
Background and approach
Her style is person-centred and practical. Kerry aims to be fully present and to witness what is difficult without rushing to fix it. When someone feels truly heard, new ways forward often become clearer.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit what each person needs. Kerry can also use attachment-based ideas to help make sense of patterns that come from past relationships. Sometimes Kerry offers simple body-based practices like breathwork, self-massage, movement or art alongside talking.
These are optional and used only when helpful. The focus is on finding what helps a person feel more able to cope and make choices that feel right for them. Kerry is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience working with adults.
She provides sessions in English and is available to international clients by online formats.
Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve problem-solving. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional responses in close relationships and improving communication and connection, which can help with intimacy-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work Kerry does with each person. She listens to what matters to the individual and proposes methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Decisions about which techniques to try are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or daily routines while keeping the focus on what helps the individual make practical changes.
