About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor who uses a flexible, integrative approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and codependency. He has 13 years of experience and works in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Anthony aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect and to set clear goals with each person he sees.
Anthony combines practical talking work with strategies to manage symptoms day to day. He can support people who are coping with loss, trauma and abuse, or who struggle with anger, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also helps people with identity, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, plus work and career stress.
His practice draws on a mix of approaches so he can adapt sessions to what an individual needs. He names methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among those that inform his work. Anthony meets with a supervisory clinician each month and continues professional development to keep his practice up to date.
Anthony sees the therapeutic relationship as a joint effort. He works with each person to agree aims and to track progress toward them. Between-session messaging is available through the platform for people who find occasional contact helpful.
Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are offered in English and Spanish. He follows the BACP ethical framework in his practice and focuses on straightforward, practical steps alongside deeper work when that is needed.
How Anthony’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transition work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. He adapts his mix of approaches over time based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, cut travelling time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to write between sessions, as messaging through the platform is available for those who find it helpful.
