About Anna
Anna Griffiths is a counsellor who draws on the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to support people through difficult times. Anna is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. They focus on listening closely and helping people find their own strengths to manage change and pain.
Anna has 16 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Their work includes helping with LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief and loss, and parenting-related strain.
Background and approach
Anna also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Additional areas Anna pays attention to include first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, focusing on what helps someone feel steadier in day-to-day life.
In sessions Anna invites people to be the expert on their own story while offering tools and perspectives that can reduce distress. They emphasise small steps and realistic goals, not quick fixes. The approach is collaborative and paced around what each person needs.
People can expect straightforward conversation, exercises drawn from the named approaches when relevant, and guidance on coping strategies. Anna supports clients as they try out new ways of relating to themselves and others, and as they navigate life transitions.

How Anna works online
Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts that make up a person’s inner life. It helps people understand conflicting feelings and calm parts that feel overwhelmed. This work can be useful for trauma, anxiety, self-esteem and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Anna will work collaboratively to decide which method or combination suits a person’s needs and goals. They will adjust the pace and choice of exercises so the work feels manageable and relevant.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have regular check-ins during a week and to continue therapy through life changes. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to make therapy more accessible and to help people keep momentum between sessions.
