About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, emotional wellbeing, and the everyday strains that come with parenting and family life.
Grainne has spent the last decade focusing on substance use and emotional wellbeing. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She also supports adults facing difficulties linked to attachment, abandonment and relationship communication.
Her way of working centres on listening and planning together. Conversations are practical and straightforward. She uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients set and reach clear goals.
Grainne draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive approaches and motivational interviewing. She also uses client-centred listening and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and make concrete steps forward.
People typically come for help with parenting strain, family problems, addiction, sleep, ADHD, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Grainne helps adults talk through these issues and develop manageable strategies for day-to-day life.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small, committed actions towards those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and ongoing life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to change patterns that keep problems going. It suits issues like stress, sleep disruption and mood problems. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and building a collaborative relationship where the client guides the pace and focus of the work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Grainne will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences and everyday reality. This may mean combining acceptance-based work with CBT tasks and motivational interviewing to support change in areas such as substance use or parenting strain.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around caring responsibilities, work breaks or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and mean not having to travel to attend a session. Registered or accredited professionals can work with people across different locations, and Grainne accepts international clients according to her profile.
