About Anna
Anna Griffiths is a counsellor who works from a practical, people-centred stance. Anna is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of experience, and she focuses on helping people manage depression alongside relationship, grief and identity concerns. She keeps sessions straightforward and grounded so clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Anna believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, collaborative style to sessions. She helps clients notice their strengths and use them to face difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable steps that add up to meaningful change over time. Common topics Anna supports include anxiety, stress, addictions, parenting strain and problems with intimacy. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem and career worries.
Additional areas of focus include first responder pressures, gender dysphoria, HIV and non-monogamous relationships. Sessions aim to create a calm space to talk things through, name patterns and try out different ways of coping. Anna uses approaches like the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems as tools to guide conversations about relationships and inner parts.
The emphasis is on practical understanding rather than technical language. People who come to Anna often want clear, steady support while they navigate life changes. She offers a straightforward, patient presence and helps clients plan what to try next.
The tone in sessions is warm, direct and focused on real-life steps clients can take.

Approaches Anna lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people understand different parts of themselves. That method helps name inner voices, soften harsh self judgement and develop more compassionate ways of relating to emotions and memories. It can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and persistent low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Anna will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then work together to try methods that fit. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth, short chats fit a busy day and messaging supports ongoing check-ins between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other demands.
