About Kerry
Kerry Griggs offers support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She works with people coping with life changes, grief, addiction issues, trauma and intimacy-related struggles. Kerry also supports clients facing parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, career stress and compassion fatigue.
She welcomes conversations around identity and LGBT matters in a respectful way. Kerry believes people know their own stories and already hold strengths to call on.
Background and approach
Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental, centred on listening and being present. That grounded presence helps people notice what hurts and begin to make small changes. Her approach is person-centred, with influences from cognitive and emotion-focused methods.
Sessions tend to focus on collaborative problem-solving, exploring patterns that cause distress, and building practical skills for day-to-day coping. Kerry may suggest paced breathing, gentle movement or creative exercises when helpful. She frames painful reactions as sensible responses to difficult experiences, including loss, childhood wounds and social pressures.
Understanding how these patterns developed often opens up new choices and reduces shame. Kerry aims to help people find clearer direction and greater ease in everyday life. Therapy is paced according to each person’s needs.
Kerry works to help clients access inner resources, make decisions they have been avoiding, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Kerry works online
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapy process. Kerry will work collaboratively to understand your needs, goals and preferences, and then try ways of working that suit you. You can expect recommendations and gentle experiments rather than fixed prescriptions, and she will adjust methods as you progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows for creative uses of the session time, such as guided breathing, movement prompts or talking through immediate problems, so therapy can slot into everyday life more easily.
