About Kerry

Kerry Griggs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports people dealing with grief, life changes, addictions and issues linked to adoption and foster care. Kerry also works with LGBT adults and those feeling lonely or stuck.

Kerry believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to healing. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they need to. That presence makes it easier to notice painful feelings and to begin making different choices.

Her work is grounded in listening and helping people recover their own inner resources. Sessions can include talking, and when useful Kerry may invite breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based activities. Clients decide what feels most helpful each week.

Kerry explains difficult feelings as natural responses to life events, childhood experiences or social pressures. Making sense of those reactions often reduces shame and opens up new options for coping and decision-making.

She encourages a compassionate approach to oneself so people can tolerate hard emotions and act in line with what matters to them. Over time this can help people manage stress better, rebuild confidence and move towards a more meaningful life.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction even when feelings are difficult. It supports worries about meaning, motivation and coping during life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. It can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeating painful patterns in relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will discuss options and try methods that suit a person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as goals evolve. Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, have shorter check-ins when needed, or choose not to use video if that is preferable. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking to match sessions to daily life.
