About Grace
Grace Kamau is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, and trauma and abuse. Grace also focuses on issues such as codependency, attachment and abandonment, body image, and communication problems.
Grace uses an integrative way of working. That means she draws on different psychological ideas and practical methods to fit what the person brings. Sessions are straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what patterns keep repeating. She pays attention to how relationships and past family experiences affect feelings today.
In the room she aims to be honest and present, offering empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard as part of how she works. That translates into clear feedback, gentle challenge when helpful, and time to name what is hard to say. People often come to address people-pleasing, trouble saying no, feeling empty, or living with another person’s moods or drinking.
Grace expects therapy to be a collaboration. She helps clients set small, practical goals and tries out ways to change daily routines and responses. Sessions can include looking at thoughts and feelings, practising boundary-setting, and reflecting on early family patterns that still shape behaviour.
Sessions are conducted in English and Swahili. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options on the booking page and follow the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic methods and working online
Grace typically works in an integrative way, combining practical cognitive approaches that look at thinking patterns with relational work that explores attachment and early family influences. Cognitive-style techniques help with anxiety and unhelpful thinking by teaching clearer ways to notice and reframe thoughts. Relational and attachment-focused work examines how early bonds affect present relationships and can help with codependency and chronic people-pleasing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace will discuss different methods and agree with the client which to try based on current problems, goals and what feels manageable. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress and needs change.
The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular attendance easier. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions for check-ins, therapeutic conversation and skill practice, and Grace will make practical choices so therapy can fit into everyday life.
