About Kerry

Kerry Griggs helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress and life changes. She works with issues such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, addictions and intimacy-related concerns. Kerry also supports people facing job strain, parenting stress, ADHD and a wide range of personal challenges.

Kerry believes people know their own story and have strengths to build on. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs.

Her style is person centred - she listens closely and responds with warmth. Kerry often combines that approach with practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance-based ideas to tackle overwhelming thoughts and unhelpful patterns. Emotion-focused work is used when feelings need naming and exploring.

She is comfortable talking about attachment, trauma, family issues and identity, including work with LGBT adults in ways that feel respectful. Kerry can also introduce movement, breathwork, gentle self-massage or creative activities when these are helpful and welcomed.

Over time Kerry aims to help people notice their strengths, make decisions they could not before, and find clearer ways forward. Her work is aimed at reducing day-to-day strain and helping people reconnect with what matters to them.

How Kerry's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps towards what matters. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses, useful for relationship strain and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and is supported to find their own answers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy here is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good when face-to-face style contact helps build rapport. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and stick with regular sessions.
