About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and family conflict. Kerry also helps people coping with grief, self-esteem issues, addictions and life changes.
Kerry’s starting point is that each person knows their own story. She listens and helps people notice their strengths. Sessions are conversational and focused on what a person needs now. She uses a person-centred stance and invites practical ways to manage painful feelings.
Her approach draws on acceptance and cognitive methods alongside attachment ideas. Kerry may suggest simple practices such as breathwork, gentle movement or art-based activities when these feel useful. She also offers talking therapy alone if that suits the client better.
Kerry is experienced supporting LGBT adults and people dealing with intimacy-related problems, body image, sleep and eating concerns. She also works with issues such as ADHD, codependency, communication problems and caring-related stress. She aims to help people make clearer decisions and find small steps forward.
Sessions are conversational and paced to what each person can manage. Kerry encourages noticing what held someone back and finding inner resources to reduce stress. If you want to explore how support might help, the process begins with a short questionnaire and a first session to agree priorities.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance keeps someone stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and trust. This approach can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and feelings of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and help decide which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to best match a person's needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or remove the need to be on camera if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT or attachment-based ideas to remote sessions so practical skills and reflective conversation carry over into everyday life.
