About Grainne

Grainne focuses on what will help clients make workable changes, step by step.

She places emphasis on listening without blame and on accepting people where they are. People can expect a collaborative plan created together. Conversations are shaped to the individual's pace and needs, with attention to immediate concerns and longer-term goals.

How Grainne's approach works online

Grainne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred ways of working to support people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take steps that match their values. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small behavioural changes that can ease anxiety or low mood. These methods are presented in simple, practical steps and are aimed at problems such as stress, sleep difficulties, addiction-related concerns and mood changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit your situation. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be shorter or use less data. Live chat and messaging let people check in between calls or write when talking is hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
