About Grainne
Grainne Griffith is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma, anxiety and depression, and supports those carrying guilt and shame. Sessions focus on managing life changes, stress, self-esteem and career concerns.
Grainne has spent the last decade working with substance use and emotional wellbeing. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people make sense of difficult feelings. That can mean looking at patterns that keep someone stuck, or learning new ways to respond to triggers.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they suit a person's needs. Conversations are shaped around the person's goals and day-to-day realities.
She works with a wide range of issues such as attachment and abandonment, family problems, chronic illness, parenting stresses and addiction. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, forgiveness, communication difficulties and compassion fatigue. Her work includes neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Grainne invites a step-by-step plan rather than quick fixes. She helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress together. Practical tools and straightforward reflection are used to help reduce the burden of guilt and shame over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Grainne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action, which helps when guilt or shame lead to avoidance. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress. Client-centred work prioritises listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most to the person.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what seems most useful and adapt methods based on the client’s goals, preferences and daily life. That collaborative decision makes it easier to try exercises and adjust them if they do not fit.

They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for using quieter, lower-bandwidth options if that helps someone stay engaged.
