About Grant

Counsellor Grant Roberts is a BACP member with 25 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, eating problems, grief and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Grant also lists support for relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD and other life changes.

Grant uses a person-centred foundation as his starting point. He listens to what matters to the person in front of him and works in an open, non-judgemental way. That basic approach shapes how he responds to worries about mood, eating and sleep, and to practical problems at work or in relationships.

He works integratively and draws on a range of methods. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to look at thinking patterns and build practical skills. Attachment-based ideas are used when people bring difficulties that link to early relationships and closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles help when people want to change how they relate to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside listening and reflection. Grant aims to give tools for coping with anxiety, anger and low mood, and to help people improve communication and decision-making. He also offers support around trauma, loss, chronic health concerns and care-related stress.

People interested in meeting him are invited to use the site booking route to view options. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and arranging an initial session where aims and practical arrangements are discussed.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling

Grant often combines person-centred work with structured methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practising new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and closeness, and can help when past relationships affect current trust and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grant will discuss the options with the client and choose what fits their goals and preferences. That planning is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific remote formats, so check the available session options before booking. Many people find online sessions can fit around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. If a quieter setting, less screen time or a different length of meeting would help, mention this when arranging the first appointment so practical adjustments can be discussed.
