About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She helps people cope with addictions, emotional wellbeing, stress and anxiety, and practical life changes. Her work also covers issues such as ADHD, parenting concerns and blended family issues.
Grainne uses clear, straightforward conversations to help clients sort out what matters most. She listens and responds without judgement. Together with each client she outlines goals and practical steps to move forward.
Her recent work has focused on substance use and emotional wellbeing over the past ten years. That background means she is used to supporting people who are trying to change habits, manage strong feelings, and rebuild routines.
Grainne draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She also uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding to stress or difficult thoughts.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to what the person needs. Grainne helps clients weigh options, practise small changes and plan next steps. She works with adults who want clearer coping strategies and steadier day-to-day routines.
If someone is unsure about what to expect, Grainne asks a few questions at the start and then agrees a simple plan for the first few sessions. This makes it easier to see whether the approach is useful and what to adjust next.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and decide what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where someone wants more clarity about values and next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to shift mood and routine. It suits problems like anxiety, sleep difficulties and coping with stress.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, current difficulties and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest ways to try these approaches and agree a short plan so the client can see what fits and what to adjust.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Some approaches work well in conversation, others include short exercises or homework that can be practised between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods to help people bring small, practical changes into everyday routines.
