About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with over 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He offers a flexible, integrative approach and aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He works in English and Spanish and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Anthony helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and strong feelings such as anger. He also supports those facing trauma, bereavement, addiction and identity questions.
Background and approach
Work can focus on managing symptoms or looking deeper at underlying issues to bring about acceptance and change. His practice draws on several well-known approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He adapts methods to suit each person and agrees clear aims at the start of therapy.
Sessions may include talking through feelings, learning practical coping skills and trying new ways of responding to problems. Anthony follows the BACP ethical framework and takes monthly supervision while carrying out regular professional development. This helps keep his practice informed and up to date.
Clients can also message between sessions when that is useful for check-ins or short updates. He views therapy as a joint process and works collaboratively to set goals. People who want to manage better, reduce distress or feel more like themselves are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Online support
How these approaches are used online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and personal life. It can be useful when strong feelings or attachment wounds drive repeated problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match a person's values. It often helps with anxiety, stress and unwanted habits by building psychological flexibility.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to better fit what the person needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support or when writing feels easier than speaking.
