About Kerry

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and family conflicts. She supports LGBTQ+ adults, those coping with grief or loneliness, and people struggling with low self-esteem or major life changes, offering a warm and non-judgmental presence that encourages honest exploration.

Kerry believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that drawing out existing strengths can open the way to change. Her work is grounded in a person-centred approach - providing attentive listening and a compassionate, accepting space so painful feelings can be understood rather than pushed aside. She helps clients make sense of how early experiences, losses and social pressures shape current reactions, and supports practical shifts that reduce distress and increase agency.

When appropriate and welcomed by the client, Kerry can integrate gentle somatic practices such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based techniques alongside talking therapy to expand ways of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and works collaboratively to help people reconnect with inner resources, strengthen coping, and move toward more fulfilling, authentic living.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Kerry integrates person-centred work with approaches that focus on relationships and personal values to support change. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises attentive, non-directive listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their feelings and rediscover internal strengths - it is well suited to people seeking a supportive environment to process distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping clients understand and shift ways of relating to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works with thoughts and feelings by clarifying values and encouraging committed action toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kerry collaborates with each person to discover which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the work as understanding grows. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more confident about the direction of their therapy.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from registered professionals and therapists without rearranging major parts of life.
