About Anna

Anna Griffiths works on relationship and LGBT issues, grief, intimacy difficulties and a range of stress-related concerns using a collaborative style. Anna is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of experience in the field.

Anna treats relationship problems and sexual intimacy matters alongside anxiety, depression and stress. They also help people facing grief, addiction, anger and trauma and support those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. There is additional experience with ADHD, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

In sessions Anna uses evidence-informed approaches such as the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems. The focus is on practical conversation, noticing interaction patterns and identifying parts of yourself that affect how you react. Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to build clearer ways of relating to others and to yourself.

Anna frames clients as experts in their own lives and works collaboratively to identify strengths and next steps. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Practical strategies and reflective work are mixed according to what is helpful.

Anna practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. If you want to explore whether they are the right counsellor, use the site’s matching route to arrange a first appointment and discuss session options.

How Anna applies her approaches in online counselling

Anna uses the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to guide work in sessions. The Gottman Method focuses on how people interact, helping to identify repetitive patterns and teaching communication techniques that reduce conflict and increase understanding within relationships. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person - inner emotions, protective reactions and vulnerable parts - to help people understand their own responses and make different choices.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Anna will discuss your goals, preferences and situation and together you will try approaches that fit your needs. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses to focus on what helps most.
