About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, emotional wellbeing concerns and life changes, and has spent the past decade focusing on substance use and related issues.
Grainne listens without judgement and treats people with respect and sensitivity. She works collaboratively to set goals and plans sessions around what the person needs. Conversations are practical and direct, aimed at making small, manageable changes.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred work, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These methods can help with anxiety, low mood, self‑esteem and coping when life shifts feel overwhelming. Sessions may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning short mindfulness skills and clarifying values to guide decisions.
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family difficulties, parenting pressure, sleep problems, ADHD, and the isolation that can come with major life changes. Grainne has additional experience with trauma, attachment and abandonment concerns, and with chronic illness and caregiver stress.
People who approach her often want practical tools they can use between sessions. Grainne aims to break issues down into manageable steps and to agree a clear plan for progress. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and decide what matters to them. It supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and changing unhelpful patterns of behaviour.Finding the right approach often takes a bit of trial and discussion. Grainne works with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan if needed, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study, work or busy days, and reducing travel time so check‑ins are easier to keep. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to make therapy more manageable within everyday life, and Grainne aims to help clients fit sessions into their routines rather than add extra burden.
