Anthony Grainger
Practical integrative counselling for everyday struggles
About Anthony
Anthony Grainger uses an integrative approach to counselling that adapts to each person's needs. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to help people tackle practical problems and feelings that get in the way of daily life.
He has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That membership means he follows the BACP ethical framework and has ongoing supervision and professional development. Anthony helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and anger. He also supports those facing trauma, bereavement, addiction and identity concerns.
He works with issues around relationships, intimacy, parenting and work-related strain. Sessions can focus on recovery, symptom management or exploring deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. He aims to set clear goals collaboratively and to use practical steps alongside reflective work.
Messaging between sessions is available for follow-up or brief check-ins. Anthony offers counselling in English and Spanish. He uses a flexible, respectful style and encourages people to approach therapy at a pace that feels safe.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to see if the working fit feels right.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take steps towards those values even when strong feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress and problems where avoidance keeps someone stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical techniques to change patterns that maintain distress. It often helps with depression, anxiety and unhelpful habits.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and repetitive relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and personal preferences and then agree which methods to try. Plans are reviewed together and adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
