About Grant
Grant Roberts is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. He helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, addiction and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career pressures and life transitions.
Grant uses a person-centred foundation and draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. He blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where these fit. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at naming emotions, spotting unhelpful patterns and finding manageable steps forward.
In practice he pays attention to attachment issues and relational patterns that make feelings hard to express. That can include work on abandonment, adoption and foster-care impacts, codependency, and intimacy-related worries. He also offers support around neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and topics like body image, BDSM and kink where people need nonjudgmental space to talk.
Grant explains tools clearly and coaches people through strategies for coping and change. He uses short exercises from cognitive-behavioural approaches alongside deeper emotion-focused conversations. The aim is to reduce distress and build confidence in handling day-to-day challenges.
People who choose him will find a steady, pragmatic style. To begin, the website process asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Grant regularly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong feelings and recurring relationship patterns. EFT focuses on recognising emotion and how it shapes interactions, which can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns and responses to abandonment.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take small, committed steps toward them. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes because it teaches practical ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grant will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which suits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion guides whether sessions focus more on emotions, behaviour change or values-based steps.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow work that moves between talking, practical exercises and brief homework tasks to fit everyday life.
