About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works in a respectful, sensitive way and offers flexible, person-centred support for people facing a wide range of problems. He explains things plainly and aims to set clear goals together with each person he meets.
He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those affected by trauma, grief, anger and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
People bring issues such as addiction, eating concerns, parenting strain, identity worries and workplace stress, and he addresses these too. Anthony uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic styles. That means sessions can include practical exercises, talking therapy and attention to emotional patterns, depending on what each person needs.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment and emotionally focused ideas. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and follows their ethical framework. He has monthly supervision and keeps his skills up through ongoing professional development.
Anthony treats the work as a joint effort. He and the client set aims together and agree on how to work towards them. Sessions can also include messaging between appointments when that is useful.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place online through a mix of video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss your situation and together you will decide which methods to try. The plan can change as you progress so the work stays relevant to your goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and allow exercises that use visual material. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are handy for short check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people keep continuity of care while fitting sessions around their life.
