About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. His practice also covers issues like addiction, grief, self-esteem and identity, including LGBT concerns and ADHD-related struggles.
He uses an integrative approach, combining different methods to suit each person. That means sessions can focus on managing symptoms, recovering from past harms, or looking deeper at patterns that keep problems repeating. He frames the work as a joint effort and sets goals together with the person in front of him.
Anthony follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and takes monthly supervision. He also completes ongoing professional development so his practice stays current. He offers messaging between sessions on the platform for people who find that helpful.
Sessions can explore practical steps and coping skills as well as emotional themes such as attachment, bereavement and identity. He aims to help people accept difficult feelings while also making changes where that is needed. The mix of short-term tools and longer conversations is intended to fit different needs.
He works in English and Spanish. International clients are not accepted. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session so they can see if the approach feels right.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying values and learning to live with difficult thoughts while taking action that matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck when decisions matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognising unhelpful thinking and testing it with practical tasks. It often helps people who want clearer strategies for stress, panic, low mood or unhelpful routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection experiences shape current reactions. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and attachment themes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can include short-term skill building or longer, deeper sessions depending on what the person wants.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring duties. Online work can reduce travel, allow messaging between sessions where helpful, and make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and tools to suit a person's everyday routine.
