Background and approach

He blends a few approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Attachment-based thinking helps when past relationships shape current fears and closeness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas support values-led choices when worrying thoughts feel overwhelming. With 25 years of practice, Grant has supported people with relationship and intimacy worries, addiction and codependency, sleep and anger problems, parenting strain, career stress, and long-term health or caregiving challenges. He also works with concerns linked to neurodiversity, BDSM and kink communities, and issues around adoption and attachment.

Sessions are available via video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Clients choose the format that fits their life and pace. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How different approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, worry and motivation when avoidance has become a habit.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Together the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try brief experiments to change responses, which often helps with panic, depression and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grant will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adjusted if they do not fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, caregiving duties or health constraints, and to keep progress moving between sessions.
