About Anna

Anna Griffiths is a counsellor with a BACP credential and 16 years of experience. They focus on helping people navigate relationship stresses, parenting strains, grief, and identity concerns. Anna approaches sessions with a straightforward and respectful style that aims to make therapy feel approachable for a worried parent.

Anna believes people know their own story and brings listening, gentle challenge, and practical ideas to sessions. They use methods such as the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to look at relationships and the different parts of a person’s inner life. This helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or changes at home.

Sessions often address intimacy-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Anna also works with concerns related to ADHD, first responder stress, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and non-monogamous relationships. The focus is on realistic steps people can try between sessions to ease day-to-day pressures.

People can expect a calm and practical approach that balances understanding with action. Anna supports people through career transitions, coping with life changes, anger, and depression while keeping goals clear and achievable. Conversations aim to help people rebuild confidence and better manage difficult moments.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Anna's approaches translate to online therapy

Anna uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and communication. That approach focuses on clear conversation skills, repairing conflicts, and building reliable connection between partners. It can help with arguments, intimacy problems, and stresses that affect everyday family life.

Anna also uses Internal Family Systems, which helps people notice the different parts inside them - for example the worried part or the critic - and learn kinder ways to relate to those parts. This approach is useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and when old habits get in the way of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to use and adapt them as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person's life.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not stated in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss available session options and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire so appointments can be arranged to suit daily routines.
