Anthony Grainger

Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with BACP registration and 13 years of experience. He offers a practical, respectful approach that helps people manage common problems like stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He works in English and Spanish and aims to set clear goals together with each person.

Anthony uses an integrative style that draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. He will help people recover from difficult events or learn ways to manage ongoing symptoms. Sessions can address immediate coping as well as deeper issues such as attachment, identity and grief.

He treats concerns including trauma and abuse, anger, addiction, eating and intimacy-related issues, along with career, parenting and caregiving stress. Additional focus areas include ADHD, abandonment, autism and body image, among others. The aim is to explore what is getting in the way and to work towards realistic changes.

Anthony follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and has monthly supervision. He keeps his practice up to date through regular professional development to ensure his work is informed by current ideas.

Clients and therapist agree on aims and priorities at the start. Messaging between sessions is available through the platform for many people who find brief check-ins helpful. To begin, the site matching process is used to arrange an initial appointment.

How chosen approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live by their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when people struggle with trust, intimacy or repeating painful dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. They will review progress together and adjust the plan as needed, so therapy remains a joint process rather than a fixed prescription.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm currently supported options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between meetings, or remove travel time. Many people find messaging between sessions useful as a way to keep momentum. Registered or accredited professionals will help arrange a pattern of sessions that fits everyday life and personal commitments.
