Anna Griffiths, BACP

Anna Griffiths works from approaches that focus on relationships and internal parts. Anna uses the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to help people untangle painful patterns and build clearer communication. They bring 16 years of experience in mental health work across the United Kingdom and speak English. Anna supports people with a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain, stress and anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships. The list reflects the topics Anna commonly addresses in sessions. Sessions are practical and down to earth. Anna listens to each person’s story and helps them spot patterns that get in the way. Together they try out small changes and clearer ways of talking that can ease daily life and relationships. Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is recorded as a professional credential. That credential is used to describe professional standing in the United Kingdom. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Anna does not take international clients and works in English only.

Working with relationship and internal parts online

Anna uses the Gottman Method to look at how partners communicate, manage conflict and rebuild connection; this approach helps with day-to-day relationship problems and intimacy challenges. Internal Family Systems is used to map the different parts of a person - for example a protective part or a worried part - and to help those parts relate to each other with less conflict and blame.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna will discuss goals and preferences at the start and together they will decide whether to emphasise relationship work, parts work, or a blend of both. The focus can adapt as needs change during therapy so the plan stays relevant to the person’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face interaction and working directly on communication skills. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be useful for ongoing reflection between sessions and for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day demands while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
