About Anna
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Anna Griffiths has 16 years of experience helping people in the United Kingdom with relationship and LGBT concerns among other issues. Anna describes working with people around grief, intimacy, stress, anxiety and addiction. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical ways to manage current problems and feelings.
Anna works from the view that clients know their own stories and bring strengths to sessions. She draws on two named approaches to guide conversations and practical exercises. Sessions aim to make difficult topics clearer and to help people try different ways of responding to problems at home or work.
Common themes Anna helps with include relationship difficulties, bereavement, parenting strain, low self-esteem, anger, career-related stress and coping with life changes. There is also experience supporting people with ADHD, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to gender dysphoria, HIV and non-monogamous relationships.
Her background covers a mix of individual work across a range of concerns. That breadth makes it easier to link emotional change to everyday coping and routines. Anna can explain how particular approaches might help and will discuss practical steps to take between sessions.
Sessions follow a straightforward process of setting goals and checking progress. People who want to begin are asked to use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Anna uses specific approaches in online counselling
Anna works with two named approaches that shape conversations and practical tasks. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship patterns and communication. It looks at how couples argue, repair after conflict and rebuild connection through clear skills and tasks. Internal Family Systems treats difficult feelings as parts of a person rather than labels. It helps people notice different inner parts, understand their roles and find less reactive ways to respond.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. Anna discusses goals, current problems and preferences with each person. Together they decide which methods to try and review how those methods feel in practice as sessions continue.
The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to attend from different locations. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as format options are not listed here. Registered and accredited professionals often use online sessions to support steady progress, shorter check-ins, or structured skill practice between meetings. Anna will explain how the chosen approach will work in the session format you select and how to make sessions useful for day-to-day life.
