About Anna

Anna Griffiths uses relationship-focused approaches to help people make sense of difficult moments and rebuild connection. Anna is a BACP counsellor with sixteen years of experience in the UK.

Background and approach

They meet people where they are and help them take small, practical steps forward. Anna works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety and depression.

They also support people with grief, anger, addictions and coping with life changes. Relationship and intimacy-related issues are a common focus, as are matters linked to identity such as LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria.

Sessions are conversational and aim to make things clearer. Anna helps people spot patterns that get in the way and practises ways to change them.

Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Anna has particular experience supporting those affected by first responder work and people living with HIV or managing non-monogamous relationships.

They also help with parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, career stress and compassion fatigue. People can expect a calm, direct style that balances practical tools with space to reflect.

Anna encourages clients to use their own strengths and values when making changes. The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s situation.

Using Gottman and Internal Family Systems online

Gottman Method work focuses on how people relate to each other in close relationships. Online sessions can introduce simple communication exercises and strategies for resolving conflict and rebuilding connection. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different parts of themselves and the needs behind strong feelings, which can reduce shame and soften inner conflict.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Anna will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then adapt methods to fit those needs. The therapist helps people try different ways of working and checks in to see what is most helpful over time.

Online therapy with Anna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer work and communication exercises, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Text and chat are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting support around a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
