About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor with 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and uses an integrative approach to meet individual needs. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Anthony offers work focused on recovery, symptom management and personal growth. Anthony helps with a wide range of common concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, identity questions and challenges around intimacy and parenting. LGBT issues are listed among his areas of focus. His approach blends practical skills and reflective work.
That can mean learning new ways to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can also mean looking at deeper patterns that keep the same problems returning. Sessions are collaborative, with goals set together and progress reviewed over time.
Anthony follows the BACP ethical framework and takes monthly supervision to maintain the quality of his work. He also keeps up with ongoing professional development to ensure his practice remains informed and current. Some clients use brief messages between sessions to keep continuity and check in.
To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Anthony’s approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to create a more meaningful life, which can suit issues like anxiety or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change them, often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences. He can mix approaches to match what you need and will review progress together so adjustments can be made as required.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, making shorter check-ins simpler, or allowing work around childcare or employment. Messaging between sessions is available on the platform and can be useful for brief updates or questions between meetings.
