About Kerry Griggs
Kerry Griggs is a compassionate, person-centred therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and the many challenges that come with life changes. With eight years of clinical experience, she uses a warm, non-judgmental style that honours each person as the expert of their own story and builds on the strengths clients already possess to find clearer ways forward.
Kerry creates a calm space where painful feelings and difficult reactions can be heard and understood as natural responses to life events, childhood experiences, loss and social pressures. Through gentle, attentive listening she helps people reconnect with inner resources so they can cope better, make decisions they previously found hard, and express themselves more freely. Her client-centred approach encourages self-compassion and curiosity, making room for new perspectives and practical change.
She also works with LGBT adults and welcomes diverse life experiences without unnecessary questioning. When appropriate and welcomed by the client, Kerry may introduce breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based activities alongside talking therapy. Kerry is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Kerry draws on client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and a non-judgmental presence that helps people feel heard and understood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to identify values-based steps that move life in a more meaningful direction. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people improve connection, trust and emotional regulation in relationships.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kerry will work together with each person to identify goals, preferences and the methods most likely to help, adjusting the focus over time as needs change and progress emerges.
Online therapy with Kerry is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, varied energy levels and differing communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular support from wherever the client is, while allowing the therapist and client to tailor sessions to what feels most comfortable and effective.
