Anna Griffiths

Anna Griffiths is a counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom and registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). They focus on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing relationship problems, grief, sexuality and gender concerns, stress, anxiety, addictions and anger. Anna treats each person as the expert in their own life and offers a steady, non-judgemental presence while people work through difficult moments.

In sessions Anna uses clear, useful methods drawn from the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems. The Gottman Method helps with communication and relationship patterns. Internal Family Systems helps people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence feelings and actions. Anna combines these approaches to match what each person needs.

People come to Anna with concerns such as self-esteem, career changes, depression, coping with life changes, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. There is also experience supporting first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS related concerns, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics like polyamory.

Anna works in a collaborative way. They listen first, then help set practical goals and steps that feel achievable. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, calmer responses to difficult emotions, and better daily routines.

If you are unsure whether this approach fits, Anna encourages a short initial conversation to see if it feels right and to agree a way forward that suits you.

How therapeutic methods are used in online counselling

Anna draws on the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems as practical tools in therapy. The Gottman Method focuses on how people talk and behave in relationships, helping to spot repeating patterns and teach clearer ways to communicate. Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person - such as an angry part or a fearful part - and helps those parts to be heard and to work together more kindly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which method or mix of methods makes sense. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan can change as progress is made.

Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. It also lets people join from different parts of the country without needing to rearrange major commitments. Registered or accredited professionals who work this way aim to make therapy practical and manageable alongside everyday life.
