About Grace

Grace Kamau is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She speaks English and Swahili and works with clients who are coping with life changes, trauma and abuse. Grace aims to make the first step feel manageable and welcoming for anyone unsure about counselling.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on different psychological ideas to suit each person. That means sessions are shaped around what each client needs rather than a single method. Grace emphasises empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard as the core of how she works.

In sessions she listens for the practical problems behind distress. She helps people name difficult feelings like shame, guilt or emptiness and then look for small, doable steps to feel steadier. Topics she commonly addresses include attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems and body image concerns.

Grace has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide ethical practice. She practices in the United Kingdom and meets people who are navigating separation, domestic violence issues, family-of-origin wounds, infidelity and loneliness.

People who choose her can expect a warm, non-judgemental tone and an individual plan that fits their situation. The focus is on clear talk, manageable goals and building coping skills that make day-to-day life easier.

How approaches guide online and blended work

Grace describes her practice as integrative, blending different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person’s needs. In plain terms that means she may draw on talking therapies that help people understand patterns in relationships and coping, and on practical strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety. These methods aim to clarify unhelpful patterns and build clearer ways of responding.

Another common focus is relational work that looks at attachment and abandonment issues. This involves noticing how past relationships affect present reactions and practising new ways to communicate and set boundaries. These steps can be helpful for grief, codependency, communication problems and recovering after infidelity or separation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Grace will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then agree a plan to try in session and review how it is helping. She adapts the work as needs change so the approach stays practical and relevant.

The platform supports arranging sessions and scheduling that fit everyday life. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, clients should confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, and it can allow for shorter check-ins or quieter, uninterrupted time when that helps progress.
