Grainne Griffith
Practical, person-centred therapy for real life struggles
About Grainne
Grainne Griffith uses a person-centred approach to help people facing emotional and behavioural challenges. She combines practical talking therapy with mindfulness and goal-focused methods. Grainne works to make sessions straightforward and respectful.
She aims to help clients feel heard and clear about their next steps. Grainne has 17 years of experience and has spent the last decade concentrating on substance use and emotional wellbeing. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to match what the individual needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace rather than a fixed formula. In practice Grainne listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them. She supports work on anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and coping with life changes.
She also addresses issues such as addiction, trauma and relationship or family stress from an individual perspective. Her style is gentle and straightforward. Conversations focus on realistic steps, experiments between sessions, and building everyday skills like mindfulness and thought management.
Grainne encourages clients to try small changes and notice what works. People often seek her help for sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries, compassion fatigue or long-term health challenges. She also works with neurodiversity concerns such as autism and attention differences.
Grainne is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to steps that build a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and addiction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, panic, sleep problems and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own pace and perspective, offering careful listening and empathy to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit best. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility that suits different lives. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping consistent support from registered or accredited professionals.
