Anthony Grainger , BACP

Anthony Grainger is a UK-registered counsellor with over 13 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He works with common presenting issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma and attachment concerns, bereavement and loss, identity and existential questions, and addictions, offering both recovery-focused and symptom-management pathways. His training is integrative, which allows him to adapt techniques to each person's needs while maintaining a clear therapeutic focus on acceptance and meaningful change.

Anthony is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which guides his practice through a recognised ethical framework. He undertakes monthly supervision and ongoing professional development to keep his work theoretically informed and current. He approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and frames the process as a collaborative partnership in which goals are set together and practical steps are developed to achieve them.

In sessions he explores both present symptoms and the deeper issues that can underlie them, aiming to support acceptance where needed and to facilitate change where it serves the client's aims. He offers flexible communication options, including messaging between sessions on the platform, which many clients find helpful as part of an ongoing therapeutic process. Anthony conducts therapy in English and Spanish and brings a measured, client-centered stance to each therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Anthony integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive techniques to tailor work to each client's needs. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that limit engagement in life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional responses; it is useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and attachment-related distress.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Anthony treats that as a collaborative process. He works with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust methods so that therapy aligns with the client's preferences, needs, and pace.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or work. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, different ways to communicate depending on comfort and need, and ongoing contact that can complement in-session work with licensed professionals and therapists.
