Grace Kamau, BACP

Grace Kamau is a counsellor who aims to make it easier to ask for help. She greets people warmly and listens without judgement. She speaks English and Swahili and works with people in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse and related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and codependency. Other areas she helps with include body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Grace uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person's needs. That means she draws on different, evidence-based techniques and shapes sessions to what helps an individual most. Her way of working is straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on understanding where someone is right now and what they want to change.

Her style centres on empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. In plain terms, she aims to be warm, honest and non-judgemental so people can talk openly. Sessions often focus on talking things through, building coping skills and finding small, achievable steps forward.

She holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Grace has three years of professional experience and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. To start, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled afterwards.

Evidence-based approaches for online counselling

Grace works with integrative, evidence-based techniques that are chosen to match each person's needs. One common method focuses on understanding thoughts and feelings and helping people develop practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and stress. This approach is useful for everyday worries and managing strong emotions.

Another strand addresses trauma and relationship patterns by looking at attachment and past experiences that shape current reactions. It helps people notice unhelpful patterns, learn new ways of relating and start to rebuild a sense of safety in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest ways of working together. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so the approach fits you rather than the other way round.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower data use, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
