About Anthony
Anthony Grainger uses an integrative counselling approach that adapts to each person’s needs. He works from practical methods to help people manage symptoms and to explore deeper issues when that is needed. He writes in plain terms, listens with respect, and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.
He has more than 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
That registration is part of how he follows an ethical framework and keeps his practice up to date through regular supervision and ongoing professional development. People come to him with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger and grief.
He also works with issues such as relationship difficulties, identity and sexual orientation concerns, parenting stress, addictions, ADHD and career problems. In sessions he combines person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive-behavioural and acceptance-oriented approaches. He aims to help people accept difficult feelings, try new behaviours and build clearer goals.
Work is collaborative with agreed aims and steps to measure progress. Anthony can converse in English and Spanish. He offers messaging between sessions through the platform when that is useful to clients.

How Anthony works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work collaboratively to set aims, try approaches and adjust as progress is reviewed. This means the plan can change if a different method seems a better fit for a person’s goals and preferences.
The biography notes that messaging between sessions is available through the platform and many clients find that useful. Session formats beyond that are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still keeping the focus on practical steps and personal goals.
