About Anthony Grainger
Anthony Grainger is a UK-registered therapist with more than 13 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He works with common presenting issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, bereavement and loss, relationship and attachment difficulties, identity concerns, addictions, suicidal thoughts, and challenges related to intimacy, parenting, career and self-esteem. His practice includes helping people recover from distress, manage symptoms, and explore deeper underlying patterns to promote acceptance and meaningful change.
Anthony delivers an integrative approach, blending evidence-informed methods to suit each person he sees rather than relying on a single technique. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and follows its ethical framework. Anthony takes part in monthly supervision and ongoing professional development to keep his work current and effective.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process in which client and therapist set aims together and work toward lasting change. Between sessions, clients may message their therapist through the service when appropriate, a feature many find helpful for maintaining progress. Anthony brings sensitivity, respect, and compassion to his work and adapts his approach to the individual needs and goals of each person.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that interfere with a valued life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It is often helpful for issues such as trust, intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, using empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-directed growth. It is well suited to people working on self-esteem, life transitions, grief, and building resilience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anthony will collaborate with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of approaches as therapy progresses.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, access support from home or work, and continue progress between sessions with messaging when appropriate, all while working with a licensed professional.
