Anna Griffiths, BACP

Anna Griffiths is a United Kingdom based therapist with 16 years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. They work with a wide range of concerns including LGBT and gender related issues, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief and loss, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional focuses include first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV / AIDS, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Anna approaches therapy from a strengths-based stance, holding the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and brings resources that can support change. They emphasize the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life and aim to offer support and empowerment as clients take first steps toward new ways of living and relating. The therapeutic work is collaborative and tailored to the individual's needs, with attention to identity, relationships, and the practical challenges that affect day-to-day wellbeing.

As a non-binary therapist, Anna brings awareness of diverse identities and relationship structures into their practice, creating space to explore values, attachments, and patterns in a way that respects each person's experience and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Anna integrates the Gottman Method into couples work - a practical, skills-based approach that focuses on improving communication, reducing damaging patterns, and strengthening emotional connection in relationships. It is often used for couples facing recurring conflict, intimacy challenges, or communication breakdowns.

They also draw on Internal Family Systems, a model that helps people understand and work with the different parts of themselves. This approach invites clients to explore internal conflicts, protective responses, and wounded parts with the aim of increasing self-awareness and inner compassion, which can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, identity questions, and complex emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different models as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose a format that suits communication style and day-to-day life.
