About Anna
BACP. 16 years of experience. Anna Griffiths is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people on relationship and LGBT issues, grief and loss, intimacy concerns and related areas. Anna uses approaches including the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to guide conversations and practical work in sessions.
Anna believes clients know their own stories and brings that perspective into counselling. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, exploring feelings around relationships and identity, and developing ways to manage anxiety, stress and change. Practical conversation and reflective work are used rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
Her background includes long-term work supporting people with trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue and ADHD related concerns. She also supports people dealing with career stress, self-esteem difficulties, anger and depression. Additional areas of focus include first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
In practical terms Anna helps people talk through family and parenting tensions, cope with life changes, and address intimacy-related problems. She uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and communication, and Internal Family Systems to work with different parts of a person’s internal experience.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Using Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems online
Anna draws on the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns, communication habits and practical ways to change interactions. This approach focuses on observable behaviours between people and useful exercises to improve how partners relate to each other.She also uses Internal Family Systems, which helps people identify and work with different parts of themselves. That approach supports work on internal conflicts, self-esteem and the emotional responses that follow trauma or grief.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Anna will discuss the methods above and help clients decide which fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy continues.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
