Grainne Griffith, BACP

Grainne Griffith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based methods. She works in a way that respects each person's story and aims to help them make changes that feel right for their life. Grainne draws on 17 years of professional experience and an active BACP registration to support people through difficult times.

She has spent the last decade working with substance use and emotional wellbeing concerns and also helps with stress, anxiety and depression. Sessions are collaborative and focus on practical steps, small changes and clearer thinking. Grainne places emphasis on listening without judgement and on helping clients make decisions that fit their values.

Her practice includes work around relationship stresses, attachment and abandonment issues, and challenges linked to parenting and blended families. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability and those coping with caregiver strain. Addictions, domestic violence, and family conflict are among other areas she addresses.

Grainne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when these suit a person's goals. Mindfulness techniques and client-centred dialogue are used to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused rather than technical or directive.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom, and Grainne accepts international clients. To begin, readers select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Grainne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test and change patterns that maintain problems such as low mood or sleep difficulties.

She also draws on client-centred principles, offering non-judgemental listening and tailoring conversations to each person. Finding the right approach is a shared process - the therapist will work with the client to agree what methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow quieter check-ins that need less preparation, or remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Registered or accredited professionals often use these advantages to support ongoing work while focusing on practical steps and coping strategies rather than lengthy paperwork.
