About Grace

Grace Kamau is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She supports adults feeling stuck after major changes, and those dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Swahili and focus on practical steps people can take when life feels uncertain.

Grace uses an integrative approach, drawing on different psychological ideas to suit each person. In practice this means she adapts how she talks and listens to what a person needs in the room. Conversations cover immediate coping skills as well as patterns that keep causing pain, such as attachment or codependent dynamics.

People can expect a direct, person-centred style that emphasises empathy, honesty and acceptance. Grace pays attention to communication problems, control issues, body image concerns and the lasting effects of family of origin wounds. She also works with themes such as abandonment, guilt and forgiveness when these come up alongside stress or grief.

Her short-term focus is on helping people manage day-to-day distress and make clearer choices about work, relationships and next steps in life. Over several sessions she can help identify repeating patterns and new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Grace encourages practical experiments between sessions so clients can test small changes and notice what helps.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Grace describes her method as integrative, drawing on a few evidence-based techniques to meet different needs. One common strand is a person-centred style that focuses on empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard; this involves listening carefully, reflecting what comes up and helping people feel understood while they consider changes. Another common element is brief problem-solving and coping skills work, which looks at practical steps to reduce day-to-day distress from anxiety, grief or stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Grace will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, adjusting them to match a client's goals and preferences. That means in early sessions she will review what feels most urgent and what types of tasks or reflections might help between meetings.

If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these sessions to deliver both skills-focused work and longer reflective conversations, so practical progress and deeper pattern work can both be done remotely.
