About Anna
Anna Griffiths is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice. Anna works with a wide range of concerns including anger, relationship difficulties, loss and grief, and anxiety. They also help with issues around intimacy, self-esteem, addiction, and coping with life changes.
Anna describes the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, practical steps that make a difference day to day. Conversations include looking at patterns that keep problems repeating and trying new ways of responding to those moments of anger or stress.
Clinical work draws on approaches such as the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to support communication and to understand internal parts that drive feeling and behaviour. Anna uses these methods as tools to help people manage resentment, rebuild trust, and notice how different feelings turn up in relationships and at work.
They have experience supporting people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues linked to gender and sexuality, including gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Anna also works with first responder issues and people living with HIV or AIDS. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with a focus on skills people can use between meetings.
Anna asks people to be curious about what they notice between sessions. Over time this observation helps reduce reactive responses and increases options for responding differently in stressful moments. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Anna uses therapeutic methods in online sessions
Anna works with methods such as the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems in clear, practical ways. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical exercises that help reduce conflict and rebuild connection in close relationships. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience and helps people understand which parts drive anger, shame or withdrawal.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss goals and preferences together and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
