About Kerry
Kerry Griggs is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, life changes and addiction. Kerry also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, sleep or eating problems, ADHD, and codependency concerns.
Kerry uses a person-centred way of working that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most now. Kerry aims to help people name painful feelings and make sense of how past events or current pressures affect day-to-day life.
Her background includes approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Kerry explains these methods in plain terms and uses them to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
In practical sessions she will help clients explore boundaries, communication, and coping strategies. She may also introduce simple breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based options if a client would like them. Kerry works respectfully with LGBT adults and people from diverse backgrounds.
People who feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed or unsure how to make decisions can work with Kerry to find clearer next steps. She focuses on helping clients access their own inner knowledge and resources so they can manage stress with more confidence.
How sessions work
Approaches you might use online and how they fit
Kerry works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside person-centred practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and helps people commit to actions that matter. This can suit worries, low mood and patterns like avoiding emotions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses to closeness and conflict. It can help people who struggle with trust, separation, codependency or predictable relationship cycles. Kerry also uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.
Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She explains options plainly, checks in about what helps, and adapts the work as things move forward.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or not needing to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use these approaches effectively across distance, and Kerry will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule your first meeting.
