About Kalpna
Kalpna Kerai is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Her profile also lists support around relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and codependency.
She favours straightforward conversation and a client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that feel manageable. People can expect time to talk about thoughts and feelings and to explore what gets in the way of change.
Kalpna draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable goals. Existential questions about meaning and choice may be part of the work when life changes are at the centre.
Her background includes supporting people with complex combinations of issues, such as chronic illness alongside anxiety or grief alongside addiction. She lists additional focuses including abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. Work can involve developing clearer boundaries and addressing codependent patterns when those come up.
To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international-based clients are accepted.
How sessions work
How attachment and solution-focused approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current patterns. Online sessions can help identify repeated ways of relating and practise different responses to closeness and conflict. Solution-focused therapy emphasises short, practical steps. It helps people set small goals and test what changes feel manageable between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's situation, goals and preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change, and sessions can mix approaches where that makes sense.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful when low energy or ongoing medical issues make travel difficult. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when scheduling to find what suits everyday life.
