Grainne Griffith, BACP

Grainne Griffith is a United Kingdom based therapist with 17 years of professional experience and membership of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over the past decade she has concentrated on substance use and emotional wellbeing, offering support to people navigating addiction alongside a wide range of mental health and life challenges.

She works with issues including trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting concerns, sleep problems, career matters, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, domestic and family violence, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness and isolation, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.

Her clinical work draws on established approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She adapts these methods to fit each person’s needs and goals, collaborating with clients to shape conversations and treatment plans.

Grainne treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she aims to support and empower those taking the often difficult first steps toward change. She believes it takes courage to seek a happier life and values providing a listening presence without judgement, allowing people to talk through their experiences without guilt or shame.
