About Grant
Grant Roberts is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, eating concerns, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Parents worried about parenting challenges can find practical help and guidance.
He works with people who face complex life changes, career stress, ADHD, or compassion fatigue. Grant keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. He starts by listening carefully and asking about what matters most to the person.
Background and approach
He builds a calm space where someone can talk without being judged. Conversations focus on what will help in daily life. His approach draws on client-centred, cognitive-behavioural and attachment-informed ideas.
That means he combines listening with practical tools and strategies to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. People leave sessions with steps they can try between meetings. Across 25 years of work in the United Kingdom Grant has worked with many different concerns.
He uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy where these fit a person’s goals. The emphasis stays on collaboration and real-life change rather than jargon. Grant encourages small, steady steps toward greater confidence and resilience.
He helps people develop clearer choices and ways of coping that fit their lives. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make it manageable and hopeful.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often focus on small experiments and practical exercises that can be practised between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. In an online setting this work can help people spot repeated patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, then tailor techniques from different methods to fit each person. This is a collaborative process that changes if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give real flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and location while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
