About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and anger. Kerry also supports people facing grief, life changes, addictions and issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns.
Kerry views each person as the expert in their own story. She uses a person-centred way of working that concentrates on listening and following what the client brings. Sessions are conversational and focus on noticing strengths and resources a person already has.
She describes painful reactions as understandable responses to life events, including childhood experiences and social pressures. Kerry helps people make sense of what feels stuck. That understanding often makes new choices easier and reduces constant reactivity.
Work in sessions may include talking, reflective listening and practical exercises to build coping skills. Where helpful and welcomed by the client, Kerry can introduce breathwork, self-massage, movement or creative activities alongside talking. These are offered as optional ways to access feelings and notice change.
Her approach aims to help people manage stress and make clearer decisions. Kerry supports clients who want steadier emotional responses, better relationships, or more confidence in handling everyday pressures. Getting started usually begins with a short matching step and then arranging a first meeting.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then identify values and small steps that lead to more workable behaviour. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety, anger that gets in the way, and low mood.)Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client's perspective and uses reflective listening so the person can hear their own thinking more clearly. This approach supports people who feel stuck, struggle with self-esteem, or want a calmer way to make decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss different ideas with the client and decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape each session and any practical exercises used between meetings.
Please confirm the session formats Kerry currently offers before booking as these are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue work with international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt therapy activities such as breathwork, movement prompts or short reflective tasks for remote sessions to suit everyday life.
