Kerry Griggs, BACP

Kerry Griggs welcomes people who are seeking support with anxiety, depression, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, loneliness, grief, low self-esteem and the stresses of life transitions. She works with LGBTQ+ adults and others who want a respectful, non-judgmental space to talk about what matters to them. Kerry believes that each person knows their own story best and that they already hold strengths that can be drawn on to meet life’s challenges.

Kerry offers a person-centred way of working that emphasises presence, warm listening and genuine curiosity. She focuses on creating a place where painful feelings can be heard and understood, and where new ways forward often emerge through compassionate reflection. Clients may discover clearer decision-making, greater self-expression and an increased ability to cope with stress as they reconnect with their inner resources.

She acknowledges how past experiences, losses and social pressures shape how people respond now, and she approaches those patterns with empathy rather than judgement. If a client is open to it, sessions can include gentle practices such as breathwork, self-massage, movement or creative exercises like art, alongside traditional talking therapy.

Kerry is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She aims to support and empower people who are ready to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.
