About Anthony Grainger
Anthony Grainger is a UK-registered therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with over 13 years of professional experience. He supports people working through a wide range of concerns - from stress, anxiety and depression to trauma, abuse and grief - and he also works with relationship difficulties, identity and attachment issues, addictions and complex life changes. He offers therapeutic support both for recovery and for symptom management, while also exploring underlying patterns when clients want to pursue deeper acceptance and lasting change.
His practice is integrative, which means he draws on multiple therapeutic methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than following a single formula. He describes therapy as a collaborative process in which aims are agreed together and change is pursued as a joint effort. He works in English and Spanish and is experienced in helping people with concerns such as anger, parenting, eating and body image, intimacy and sexual issues, ADHD and bipolar presentations, career and self-esteem challenges, and compassion fatigue among caregivers.
Anthony maintains ongoing professional development and participates in monthly supervision to ensure his work remains informed and current. He also makes use of in-between-session messaging on the platform for clients who find that additional contact helpful. He brings a respectful, sensitive and compassionate stance to his work and adapts his approach to match each client's situation and goals.

Approach-Focused Online Support and Flexible Sessions
Anthony uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, focusing instead on values-based steps that move life forward - this approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress and issues of motivation. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key method he employs - it works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, often supporting symptom reduction for anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anthony works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or choose live chat and text-based messaging when that suits their life and comfort. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs, and they allow registered professionals like Anthony to provide consistent support even when face-to-face meetings are not possible.
