About Anthony

Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with over 13 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the BACP, which guides the ethical framework for his work. Anthony focuses on helping people manage everyday thoughts and habits that affect wellbeing, as well as more complex issues such as trauma, addiction and relationship difficulties.

He uses an integrative approach that adapts to what each person needs. That means sessions can include different ways of working depending on the problem and the person. Anthony emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session.

Work with him can aim at recovery or at managing symptoms so life feels more manageable day to day. He helps people look at underlying patterns, accept what cannot be changed, and take steps towards change where possible. He presents therapy as a joint venture where goals are set together.

Anthony keeps his practice up to date through regular supervision and ongoing professional development. Being a BACP member is part of how he maintains professional standards. He also offers messaging between sessions through the platform, which many clients find useful for brief check-ins.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish. He does not accept international clients at this time, and practical details about session formats should be confirmed before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, mood difficulties and when everyday habits need to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to shift patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape how people connect now and can help with intimacy, trust and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels workable and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. Messaging between sessions is available through the platform and is often used for brief updates or to keep momentum between meetings. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know what to expect.
