About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and with people facing relationship, parenting and grief-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Anthony uses an integrative approach so he can adapt methods to what each person needs. He helps people manage symptoms and also looks at underlying issues when that feels useful. His work ranges from short-term coping strategies to longer conversations about values and relationships.
He describes therapy as a joint effort. Early sessions focus on clear aims and practical steps the client can try. Anthony also offers messaging between sessions through the platform, which some people use for brief check-ins or to share progress.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) he follows their ethical framework. He attends monthly supervision and ongoing professional development to keep his work current. That supervision helps him reflect on the work and maintain professional standards.
Anthony often draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based ideas. He explains these plainly and picks elements that suit the person in front of him. The focus is on practical steps, clearer communication, and helping people live according to their values.
How sessions work
How Anthony integrates therapy approaches online
Anthony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions when the goal is clearer action rather than changing every thought.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking patterns and try practical experiments. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression and unhelpful behavioural cycles. Attachment-based ideas appear in his work when relationship patterns and connection difficulties are the focus, helping people understand how earlier experiences shape current relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each person. He matches methods to the client's goals, preferences and the problems they bring, and adapts the plan as progress is made.
The biography mentions messaging between sessions on the platform as a way some people use for check-ins and to share progress. Other session formats were not specified, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments.
