About Grant
Grant Roberts is a counsellor with 25 years' experience offering support for stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. He also helps people facing relationship strain, grief, issues with eating and body image, low self-esteem, addiction and challenges around intimacy. He aims to make the first step feel possible and straightforward for someone weighing up therapy.
He works from a humanistic person-centred base, meeting people with acceptance and empathy. Sessions focus on listening closely and helping clients name what feels hard right now.
Background and approach
Practical tools and strategies are offered when they suit a person's goals. Grant uses an integrative approach that draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment thinking alongside person-centred ways of working. That means conversations can include exploring unhelpful patterns, practising new ways of responding, and understanding how past relationships shape current feelings.
In sessions he balances short-term coping skills with deeper exploration of recurring themes such as abandonment, attachment issues and dissociation when these are relevant. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD and complex relational concerns including kink and alternative sexual cultures.
He works with adults across a wide range of life situations, including career pressures, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. The overall aim is to reduce distress and help people build more steady self-worth and clearer ways of managing everyday life. To begin, he invites a straightforward intake so people can decide if his style fits their needs and goals.

How online therapy and approaches can help
Grant blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to shape online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past hurt affects present life and reduces the hold of distressing memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without overreacting and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence feelings and patterns in current relationships, helping people build different ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Grant treats this as a collaboration - he listens to a person's goals, tries simple techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. That means sessions can be skills-focused for immediate relief or more exploratory when someone wants to understand long-standing patterns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well where visual connection matters and for therapy that includes guided exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, reflective exercises and people who prefer writing things down. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
