Grainne Griffith, BACP

Grainne Griffith is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. She has 17 years of professional experience and works with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues such as jealousy. Grainne aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She listens without judgement and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed programme. Over the last decade she has focused on substance use and emotional wellbeing. That experience informs how she talks through patterns of behaviour and how to find alternatives that fit everyday life. Her approach is collaborative. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviours and values, and also build practical skills for coping with stress, sleep problems and caregiver strain. She offers support for people dealing with grief, family strain, chronic health problems and burnout. Grainne works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and then focus on actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with low mood, sleep issues and stress. Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening and empathy, giving the client space to talk things through while the counsellor reflects and supports their choices. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grainne will talk with each person about their goals and try approaches that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. It may help people keep sessions during work breaks, avoid travel time and maintain continuity when circumstances change. The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful support remotely, and Grainne combines practical skills, values-based planning and listening to suit each persons situation.
