About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP-registered counsellor with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support to help people manage low mood, anxiety and life changes. Her style aims to make conversations straightforward and compassionate so clients can take small steps forward.
Grainne has spent the last decade working with substance use and emotional wellbeing concerns. She helps people talk through stress, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, sleep problems and career uncertainty.
Background and approach
She also works with issues such as trauma, ADHD and feelings of isolation. Her approach is collaborative. Sessions are shaped around what a person wants to change and the goals they set.
Conversations are non-judgemental and aim to reduce guilt and shame so people can face difficult feelings more calmly. Grainne draws on a mix of evidence-based approaches to suit each person. She uses acceptance and mindfulness skills to increase emotional flexibility.
Cognitive tools help spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational techniques support people dealing with addiction or big life transitions. She offers session formats that fit different routines and needs.
Conversations can be brief and focused or more exploratory, depending on the issue. Grainne works with people who want practical strategies alongside a listening ear.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and lifestyle. That might mean trying short experiments, mixing mindfulness with cognitive techniques, or focusing on motivation for change when addiction is involved.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for longer conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins, daily support or shorter focused work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
