Grainne Griffith, BACP

Grainne Griffith uses conversational, person-centred work to help people manage difficult life moments. She blends practical strategies with listening and respect. Grainne has 17 years of experience and holds BACP registration. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Grainne focuses on areas such as addiction, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties and ADHD. Her wider interests include parenting pressures, career concerns, chronic illness and the isolation that can come with life changes.

Sessions start by finding out what matters most to the person. Grainne will tailor conversations and agree goals together. She uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness to find what fits.

In practice this looks like listening without judgement, gently challenging unhelpful patterns, and trying practical steps between sessions. She encourages small experiments and skills people can use in daily life. The aim is to build coping tools and increase choice when things feel stuck.

People describe seeking help as a brave first step. Grainne aims to support and empower people through that process. Her style is warm, direct and focused on achievable change.

How Grainne's approaches work online

Grainne often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take small steps towards a valued life. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavioural experiments that change mood and routine.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Grainne will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. The plan is flexible and reviewed as progress is made so the person and therapist decide what fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets you see facial cues and try exercises together, phone can be useful when bandwidth is low, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or daily routines and to maintain momentum between sessions.
