About Anthony

Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person’s needs. He offers a respectful and compassionate space to talk through difficult feelings and find a clearer way forward.

Anthony works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also supports people with grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, identity and LGBT concerns, and parenting or career pressures. He can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when long-term conditions and chronic illness affect daily living.

Sessions combine practical tools and reflective conversation. That might mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, practising different perspectives on painful thoughts, or working on attachment and relationship patterns. The aim is to both reduce symptoms and build skills for coping and acceptance.

Anthony follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. He has regular supervision and keeps his practice up to date through continuing professional development. This means his work is grounded in established professional standards.

He treats therapy as a collaborative process. Together with each person he sets clear goals and chooses approaches that suit their situation. Messaging between sessions is available on the platform for those who find it helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are arranged through the Start Therapy button after completing a short matching questionnaire.

How Anthony’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with ongoing health challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships to understand current difficulties in connections and trust, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and situation. Together they set aims and adapt techniques over time to find what works best.

The practical benefits of online therapy should be checked before booking because session formats are not specified here. Please confirm the available formats when you make arrangements. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use messaging between sessions if that supports their progress. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a plan that matches a client's routine and preferences.
