About Grant
Grant Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating concerns and low self-worth. He also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, addiction, sleep problems and parenting strain.
Grant works in a warm, non-judgemental way. He starts by listening closely to what matters to each person. Sessions are practical and straightforward.
He aims to make talking about hard things feel easier.
Background and approach
His practice draws on a humanistic, person-centred foundation. That means he gives clients space to tell their story and follows their pace. From there he brings in helpful ideas from narrative work, cognitive behavioural approaches and attachment-based thinking to meet the issue at hand.
Over 25 years he has supported people with a wide range of concerns including bipolar features, ADHD-related difficulties, compassion fatigue and body image worries. He also works with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and attachment problems. Sessions focus on understanding how someone’s life story shapes the problems they face today.
Grant aims to offer tools for coping, clearer ways to approach relationships, and steps towards greater self-worth. He encourages small, manageable changes that fit each person’s life. To begin, he asks people to describe what they want to change and what matters to them.
From that starting point he and the client plan practical next steps. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Grant directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Grant uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and reframe their life stories. Narrative work can be useful for relationship issues, shame, and low self-worth because it highlights alternative meanings and possibilities.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult thoughts and focus on values-led action. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes because it emphasises small, meaningful steps rather than symptom control.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Grant will listen to your goals and try different methods alongside you to see what fits best. Together you will shape a plan that suits your needs, pace and preferences rather than following one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video allows face-to-face work when that helps, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
