Anna Griffiths, BACP

Anna Griffiths is a counsellor who draws on practical, relationship-focused methods to help people navigate difficult life moments. They work with clients on issues such as grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, and challenges related to identity and addiction. Anna presents a calm, straightforward style and focuses on helping people find workable steps forward.

With 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom, Anna has supported people facing a wide range of concerns. These include parenting strains, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, career doubts, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related challenges. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Anna uses approaches that centre relationships and internal parts work. The Gottman Method shapes how they look at couples and relationship patterns, while Internal Family Systems helps people understand inner conflicts and self-relating parts. Sessions emphasise practical insight and clear steps clients can use between meetings.

Anna holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. They ask people to treat the therapy room as a place to explore what matters most and to try small changes that build bigger improvements over time.

People who choose Anna can expect a collaborative process. The work is paced to what each person needs, with an emphasis on strengths, choice, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Gottman and Internal Family Systems work online

Gottman Method focuses on communication and interaction patterns in relationships. It looks at how couples talk, manage conflict and reconnect, and offers concrete skills to improve day-to-day connection. Internal Family Systems works with the different parts inside a person - the worried, the angry, the fearful - to help people relate to themselves more kindly and make clearer choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video to read facial cues, while others use audio for lower bandwidth or quick work breaks. Discuss practical arrangements with Anna to find what fits your routine and energy level.
