About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship and family concerns. She also lists support for LGBT issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges and career questions.
Grainne has spent the last ten years focusing on substance use and emotional wellbeing. She uses a conversational, person-centred style and plans sessions collaboratively with each client. That means she and the client agree practical goals and steps together rather than following a rigid script.
In sessions she draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new skills and build small changes that add up over time. Motivational interviewing also features in her work when clients want to make changes around alcohol or drug use.
Clients can expect a straightforward style that emphasises clear goals and practical ideas. Grainne talks through feelings and behaviours, then helps people experiment with new ways of coping. She encourages realistic steps that fit everyday life rather than sudden overhauls.
Grainne accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Before a first session she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match aims and plan the initial meeting. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Grainne uses approaches online
Grainne often works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy online. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters. It can help when worries or avoidance get in the way of daily life. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to test and change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These exercises are short and can be practised between sessions to support sleep, stress and emotional regulation. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work; Grainne will discuss options and try approaches that fit each person's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can work internationally, and she accepts international clients, so confirm time zones when arranging appointments.
