Anthony Grainger uses an integrative, flexible approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and other common difficulties. He works in a collaborative way and aims to set clear goals with each person. Anthony holds BACP registration, and brings 13 years of professional experience to his practice.

He helps people recover from or manage a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and bereavement, parenting strains, identity and LGBT matters, eating and body image problems, and bipolar difficulties.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing career problems, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Anthony blends tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That mix lets him match the method to what each person needs.

Sessions can focus on symptom management, deeper underlying patterns, or both, depending on the goals set together. He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and takes monthly supervision. Anthony also completes ongoing professional development to keep his practice current.

He offers sessions in English and Spanish and does not take international clients. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Messaging between sessions is also an option for people who find it helpful.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Anthony's methods translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on what matters most to them. In practice this looks like learning simple exercises to accept experience and take values-led action, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear tools to test worries and try different behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past bonds influence present relationships and helps people understand and change patterns that cause distress in close connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will help clients decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the plan as progress is made. He describes therapy as a joint process where techniques are matched to the person's story rather than imposed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make work fit into everyday life. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work and family commitments.
