Anthony Grainger, BACP

Anthony Grainger is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice. He works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, identity and attachment concerns. Anthony offers sessions in English and Spanish and uses an integrative style that adapts to what each person needs.

He describes his work as collaborative. Together with the client he sets practical aims and looks at ways to manage symptoms or pursue deeper change. He uses conversations, reflective exercises and goal-focused techniques drawn from several approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Anthony cites Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy as influences on his practice. He explains how these approaches can help with thoughts, feelings and relationships, and he mixes methods to suit individual concerns. He also offers messaging between sessions through the platform for quick check-ins.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy he works within their ethical framework and takes monthly supervision. He also undertakes regular continuing professional development to keep his practice current.

People often come to him when life feels stuck or when they repeatedly put others first to their own detriment. He can work on setting boundaries, understanding attachment patterns, and managing anxiety so clients can make clearer decisions about their relationships and daily life.
