About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with 13 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works from an integrative viewpoint and adapts his style to each person's needs. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping them manage problems or pursue deeper change.
He helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and identity or LGBT matters.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns and career or life transitions are among the areas he will address alongside issues like addiction and self-esteem. Anthony draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. He and the client set goals together and plan each step.
Some work focuses on symptom management and coping; other sessions look at underlying patterns and longer term change. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and follows their ethical framework. He takes monthly supervision and ongoing professional development to keep his practice up to date.
Sessions can include messaging between meetings if that is helpful. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms like low mood or panic.Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It can support people who struggle with intimacy, trust or repeated relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss these methods with each person and choose the best fit together based on goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and aims are set jointly so the plan reflects what the client wants to change.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video helps recreate face-to-face conversation and body language. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These formats give flexibility and make it easier to attend appointments from different locations.
