About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a counsellor who combines Jungian ideas with practical talk therapy to help people through difficult times. He has 13 years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. He treats stress, anxiety, depression and many other common concerns in straightforward, compassionate sessions.
Anthony uses an integrative style so sessions are shaped around what each person needs. That can mean short-term work on symptoms or longer work looking at deeper patterns.
Background and approach
He writes and thinks in plain language and aims to make therapy a collaborative process where goals are agreed together. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework. He also takes monthly supervision and keeps up with professional development to maintain good practice and current thinking.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Clients can message between sessions when that is helpful for staying on track. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Anthony supports a wide range of worries including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, work stress and self-esteem problems. He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, chronic illness and body image concerns. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to therapist availability.
The work is presented as a joint effort with clear aims and practical steps to help people feel better and manage life changes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jungian-informed work looks at stories, symbols and the patterns that shape a person's life. It can help people understand recurring themes, identity questions and deeper emotional material so they feel less stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on values and practical actions. It helps people accept difficult feelings while building small steps that move life towards what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses and can help people change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through the options and decide together which direction fits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change if something is not working or new needs emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when possible. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging give a way to check in between sessions or to have a brief conversation without being on camera. These options help make therapy fit around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical steps and meaningful change.
