About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addictions and other emotional challenges. She aims to offer calm, non-judgemental support when life feels overwhelming.
Grainne tailors conversations to each person’s needs. She and the client set practical goals together and plan steps that feel achievable. Her approach is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on listening and understanding the person behind the problem.
Background and approach
Over the last decade she has worked a great deal with substance use and emotional wellbeing concerns. That time sharpened her focus on helping people find routines and coping tools that fit everyday life. She pays attention to how stress, sleep and relationships affect mood and recovery.
Grainne uses a mix of practical methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindful awareness and acceptance strategies. She also draws on motivational interviewing and a client-centred way of working to help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions are people-focused and goal-driven rather than theory-first.
She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer English sessions. Grainne encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a small step towards support and to discuss what would be most useful in the room.
Approaches for online support and practical change
Grainne often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with stress, sleep and mood problems.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Grainne works collaboratively to identify what fits your needs and goals, and she adapts methods as the work progresses. Together you decide which techniques to use and how to apply them between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility around timing and contact style. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or shorter exchanges during a busy week. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
