About Anthony
BACP member Anthony Grainger has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and a wide range of other concerns. Anthony uses an integrative counselling approach and names Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among his methods. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Anthony helps people recover from distress or learn to manage ongoing symptoms. He also explores deeper issues when clients want to work towards acceptance and long-term change. His practice includes work on relationships, grief, identity concerns, addictions, parenting and career matters alongside mood and anxiety conditions.
As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member Anthony follows the BACP ethical framework. He receives monthly supervision and takes part in continuous professional development to keep his practice current. This informs how he combines different therapeutic approaches in a flexible way to suit individual needs.
He describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. Goals are set together and sessions may include practical techniques as well as reflective conversation. Anthony notes that messaging between sessions is available through the platform and some clients find that useful.
Practical arrangements such as formats and fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model. Anthony does not accept international clients at this time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Anthony’s approaches shape remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and managing long-term difficulties.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current responses. It is useful for people concerned about attachment issues, intimacy-related problems and relationship patterns.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Anthony aims to collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the blend of approaches over time based on what is helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or offering a way to speak without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often combine conversation and practical exercises in remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
