About Kerry Griggs
Kerry Griggs is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She approaches therapy from a person-centred perspective, working alongside individuals to recognise their strengths and to explore what has shaped their responses to life’s challenges.
Kerry has supported adults facing family conflict, grief, confidence and self-esteem issues, and intimacy-related concerns. She also has experience with addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, sleep and eating issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD and compassion fatigue, and she offers affirmative, respectful support for LGBT clients.
Her practice emphasises listening and presence, creating space for clients to examine painful feelings and to make sense of reactions that often feel overwhelming. Kerry believes that understanding emotional responses - whether rooted in childhood experience, loss, social pressures or recent dilemmas - can reveal new options and inner resources for coping and decision making.
Therapeutic work with Kerry can include talking-based exploration alongside optional practices such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or art-based activities when welcomed by the client. She draws on a range of clinical approaches, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), EMDR, mindfulness, psychodynamic and attachment-based work, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods to tailor support to each person’s needs.
Kerry aims to help clients reconnect with their own knowledge about what feels right for them, reduce stress and develop practical ways forward so they can navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.
