Kerry Griggs

My name is Kerry and I am a fully qualified Person-centred counsellor. I am currently offering counselling face to face, online, walk and talk and via telephone in frome and Glastonbury.

Choosing the right therapist can seem quite a daunting prospect, especially when life already feels overwhelming. I, therefore, hope to ease any concerns and dispel any fears of what counselling really is.

I offer a safe, confidential space for counselling where individuals find their voice and can be heard and feel valued. Sometimes simply being heard can be sufficient to alleviate pain and difficult feelings. Having your story and your feelings witnessed and validated is extraordinarily powerful and provides the catalyst for change. I will offer you insights and reflections, not options or solutions. I help individuals by supporting them to talk freely about their issues which they are struggling with. I then help them step back and look again at their responses. This promotes insight and enables individuals to develop new and creative ways of responding to the challenges they face.

I provide counselling to individuals. Over the past three years, I have gained experience working for Cruse in an agency setting, helping clients come to terms with bereavement. Bereavement after a loss can arise from changes and life transitions such as a breakdown of a relationship, divorce, break up, separation, betrayal, death of a loved one, loss of your health, retirement, miscarriage, loss of trust, or abandonment.

I can help you to engage with your emotions as they are right now, and gain a deeper understanding of them, yourself and your experiences of loss, grief and bereavement. I can also help with depression, feeling low, self-criticism, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting issues, childhood trauma, loneliness, discrimination, work or the lack of it, gender identity, addiction and self-harm.

Although predominantly Person-centred, I am able to support you in an integrative way, occasionally drawing upon different counselling approaches to meet your particular needs. We will look at what brings you to therapy and explore a new way forward.

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, feel free to contact me safely and discreetly via email, text or phone. Within our first session, we will explore what you want to get out of counselling and how I am able to support you with your needs. If there is a mutual feeling that we are able to work together, we can then arrange our next session, with a view to setting up regular meetings. 

I am currently able to offer face to face, telephone sessions, online sessions.

Face to face is on a sliding scale of £50 to £45 and online sessions are £40

I offer some concession rates for those on low income. I have limited concession spaces available so this is subject to availability.
