About Anna
Anna Griffiths is a counsellor who draws on two practical approaches to help people navigate relationship and parenting concerns. They bring 16 years of professional experience and work from a belief that each person knows their own story. Anna focuses on building on strengths so people can make changes that feel right for them.
Anna listens with attention and asks clear questions to help clients understand patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, do-able steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer communication, steadier emotional responses, and more confidence in parenting and intimate relationships. Over many years Anna has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. They also work with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Additional areas of focus include first responder matters, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS, and non-monogamous relationships. Anna uses the Gottman Method alongside Internal Family Systems techniques. These approaches help people understand relationship dynamics and internal parts that influence feelings and behaviour.
Sessions use plain language and practical exercises so ideas can be used at home. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Anna's approaches work online
Gottman Method work focuses on practical strategies for relationships. It looks at communication patterns, conflict management and ways to rebuild connection. This approach can help people improve conversations and reduce repeated misunderstandings.Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person and how they influence feelings and actions. It helps people name those parts, understand their roles, and find calmer ways to respond. This is useful for anxiety, grief, trauma and strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Anna will work with each person to choose what fits best. They will discuss goals, personal preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. The plan can change as work progresses, and decisions are made together in session.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging works for short updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
