About Grace

Grace Kamau is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, and trauma and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and Swahili and geared towards practical steps for everyday coping.

Her way of working draws on an integrative approach. That means she combines ideas from different psychological theories rather than using a single fixed method. In practice she focuses on building an open, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship and applying the core conditions of therapy: empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard.

Grace aims to help people identify what feels most urgent and manageable. Conversations often include looking at patterns in relationships, testing out new ways of communicating, and developing coping strategies for stress and difficult emotions. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency and communication problems.

When trauma, abuse or domestic violence are present she attends to the immediate effects on daily functioning and to safety and stability as a priority. Work on grief, guilt, shame, infidelity and separation includes both emotional processing and practical problem solving. She helps people weigh options and build small steps forward.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment through the See online therapy options button.

How Grace uses evidence-based approaches in remote sessions

Grace describes her work as integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet the needs in front of her. For example, she may use cognitive-style methods to help people spot and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low self-esteem. These techniques focus on identifying thoughts, testing them in daily life, and building alternative responses.

She also uses relational and attachment-focused ideas when relationship difficulties, abandonment or codependency are central. That work looks at recurring patterns in close relationships and practices new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. When trauma or abuse is involved, she focuses on stabilising responses and building coping skills before moving into deeper emotional processing.

Choosing the best approach is part of the early sessions. She will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences. That means checking what helps, adapting the plan if a method does not fit, and agreeing small steps to try between sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit sessions into busy schedules, for example by reducing travel time, making it easier to arrange shorter check-ins, or allowing appointments to sit alongside work or family commitments.
