About Grant
Grant Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictive patterns. He brings 25 years of practice to sessions and works from a person-centred stance that aims to make people feel heard.
He uses somatic ideas alongside talking therapies to help people notice how emotions show up in the body.
Background and approach
That can make stress and anxiety easier to understand and manage. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide practical strategies. Sessions are collaborative.
The counsellor aims to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about painful or confusing experiences. He focuses on helping people build skills for coping and increasing their sense of self-worth. Grant has experience across a wide range of concerns including eating issues, intimacy-related problems, sleep disruption, compassion fatigue, ADHD and aspects of identity such as LGBT matters.
He also offers support for more specific themes like attachment issues, abandonment and body image. Work is presented in straightforward terms and tailored to each person. People can expect an integrative approach that blends gentle listening with practical tools.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and he aims to walk alongside people through that process.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches translate online
Somatic work helps people notice where feelings sit in the body and how physical sensations relate to thoughts and moods. That can be useful for stress, trauma-related reactions and long-term anxiety by linking breath, posture and movement to emotional patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to make small changes aligned with those values. It is practical for coping with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, and can help with intimacy and communication issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different methods with each person and work together to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, during work breaks or while travelling, and allow sessions to focus on practical tools as well as bodily awareness work.
