Kerry Griggs , BACP

Kerry Griggs is a therapist who supports adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, loneliness, grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. She works with LGBTQ+ adults and those seeking help to rebuild confidence, cope with change, or navigate painful reactions that interfere with everyday living. Kerry frames each person as the expert of their own story and focuses on helping them notice and use their existing strengths to move forward.

Kerry offers a warm, non-judgmental, person-centred approach that creates space for honest reflection and emotional exploration. She believes that being fully heard by another person can help uncover what has been holding someone back and reveal new pathways for coping, decision-making and self-expression. When painful feelings make life feel stuck or overwhelming, Kerry helps clients make sense of those reactions as understandable responses to life events and past experiences.

In sessions she may invite practical, experiential methods such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based activities alongside talking therapy, respecting each person’s preferences and pace. Kerry will work collaboratively to identify inner resources and build strategies to reduce stress and increase wellbeing. She holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Approaches Kerry Uses and How Online Therapy Supports Change

Kerry draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasizes a compassionate, non-judgmental relationship in which the client’s perspective and choices guide the work. This approach helps people who need a steady, accepting space to explore feelings and find their own solutions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a practical approach that helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and to commit to actions that align with their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Kerry integrates Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, helping clients understand connection, trust and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerry works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as trust and insight develop.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or who live far from practitioners. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent, accessible support and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working toward meaningful change.
