About Anna

Anna Griffiths is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. Anna works with adults on relationship issues, LGBT concerns, grief and intimacy-related problems, and anger. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, career strain and low self-esteem.

Anna keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for practical ways to reduce ongoing friction. Conversations tend to clarify what matters most and identify small, manageable steps forward.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with varied presentations, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and coping with life changes. Anna has also worked with people affected by gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, first responder pressures, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. This breadth informs how she tailors conversations about anger, resentment and stress.

Anna uses relational approaches to help people communicate more clearly and to notice internal patterns that feed frustration. Sessions include talking through recent conflicts, looking at triggers, and testing practical techniques to reduce reactive responses. She draws on established methods that focus on both interaction and internal parts of experience.

Practical matters such as subscription billing and session scheduling are handled through the service. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Anna offers sessions in English to people based in the United Kingdom.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Anna uses the Gottman Method to look at how people relate in the moment and in ongoing patterns. The method focuses on communication habits, turning points in conversations and practical skills to reduce conflict and increase understanding. Internal Family Systems helps people notice the different internal parts that react with anger or withdrawal and to work with those parts gently to reduce reactivity.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Anna will discuss what feels most helpful, try out methods in session and adjust based on what the client finds useful. She frames therapy as a practical partnership about goals, preferred ways of working and real-life pressures.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking. The service handles booking, subscription billing and scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes attending from a quieter place or during a break at work more manageable. Registered or accredited professionals using this approach can adapt the Gottman and Internal Family Systems tools for remote sessions so that exercises, communication practice and internal work can still be done effectively.
