About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people cope with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and major life changes. She supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, addictions and struggles around intimacy. Kerry also works with clients from LGBT communities and those facing parenting or family tensions.
Kerry believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about what matters right now.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, understanding painful feelings and naming what gets in the way of living well. Her style is client-centred and relational. Kerry sits alongside people as they make sense of difficult reactions and past hurts.
That process often uncovers new options for coping, clearer decision-making and better self-expression. She draws on approaches that include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Practical supports such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or art may be introduced when a client is open to them, but talking is always an option.
Kerry works with people who feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed or reactive to life. She also helps those wrestling with career strain, anger, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Her aim is to help people find resources inside themselves and discover ways to reduce stress and move forward.

Online support
How emotion work and practical approaches fit online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name powerful emotions, so they can understand patterns that cause distress and find new ways of relating to themselves. It is often useful for issues like grief, intimacy struggles and deep-seated emotional pain.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to someone and on small, practical steps to live in line with those values. It often helps with anxiety, depression and stress by teaching simple skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based ideas emphasise how early relationships shape expectations and feelings today, which can help explain relationship patterns and self-worth concerns.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work itself. Kerry will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods together. The aim is collaborative decision-making so the plan fits the person's needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video supports face-to-face style conversation, phone can be quicker and easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging allows flexible, ongoing contact. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
