About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on addictions, emotional wellbeing and a range of related concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression and parenting issues. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and preferences, with the counsellor and client planning the work together.
Grainne has spent the last decade working particularly with substance use and emotional well‑being. She uses practical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside client‑centred and mindfulness ways of working. That means conversations often include noticing patterns, trying out small changes and clarifying what matters to the client.
In sessions she pays attention to family and relationship dynamics, sleep problems, career strain, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity questions like autism and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abandonment, attachment difficulties, grief and issues around guilt and shame.
Her style is straightforward. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps and techniques that fit day‑to‑day life. Practical tools, reflective conversation and short exercises between meetings are commonly used to build coping skills and reduce unhelpful patterns.
International clients may be accepted and work is offered in English. Before booking, clients are asked to confirm the current session formats and any other practical arrangements through the matching process on the site.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that reflect those values. In online work this can mean setting simple, real‑world goals and using short exercises between sessions to test what helps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing alternative responses. Online sessions often include structured problem‑solving, behavioural experiments and homework tasks to try during the week.
Client‑centred therapy places emphasis on listening and reflecting so the client leads the pace and topics. In remote sessions this can help people process feelings and make sense of difficult experiences through steady conversation.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be reviewed as work progresses to change emphasis when needed.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings around work or family routines and reducing travel time. Clients should confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online meetings also make it easier to maintain continuity when life is busy, and they can be used alongside short exercises or check‑ins between sessions.
