About Grainne

Grainne Griffith is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and the everyday strains of life. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Grainne spends time listening first and then helps people set simple, realistic goals. Conversations are shaped together so the work fits each person's needs. She focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Background and approach

Over the last ten years she has worked a great deal with substance use and emotional wellbeing concerns. Her practice also covers a wide range of related issues such as sleep problems, parenting stress, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She is familiar with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment and chronic illness.

Her approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. These methods are used to help people understand patterns, find coping strategies and build new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Grainne aims to create a non-judgemental space without guilt or shame.

She supports people who want to make changes and empowers them to take the next steps. The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person's readiness to change.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Grainne uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people who have experienced abuse or overwhelming stress. This approach looks at how past events affect current feelings and reactions, and helps people build new ways of coping with distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. ACT supports values-based action so people can take steps towards what matters to them even when feelings are hard. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her work too, which means conversations are guided by the client's pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through options and adapt the style to match goals, needs and personal preferences. This collaborative decision helps make the work useful and manageable. Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or for those who prefer writing. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver focused therapeutic work that fits into busy lives.
