About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with 13 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties and identity concerns.

Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative. Anthony and the client set clear aims together and work step by step towards them. He offers messaging between sessions when helpful, so people can check in or keep momentum between meetings.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework. He takes monthly supervision and keeps up with continuing professional development to maintain current practice. People choose Anthony to work on a wide range of issues including grief, anger, parenting strain, intimacy and self-esteem.
He also supports those with ADHD, bipolar concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are available through a mixture of video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
How Anthony’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions towards those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with worry, low mood and managing symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and how they shape relationships and self-connection, which can be helpful for intimacy and attachment-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process - treatment plans are agreed together and adjusted as needed based on progress and preference.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful when face-to-face style contact matters, while phone sessions can fit around busy days or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, shorter sessions or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life.
