Grace Kamau

Grace Kamau is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or loneliness. She welcomes conversations about relationship strain, low self-esteem and big life changes. She aims to make the first step easier for anyone who is unsure about counselling.

Grace works from an integrative perspective, drawing on different psychological ideas to shape sessions around each person. She focuses on empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard as the basis of the work. That means she listens without judgment and adapts her way of working to what the person needs in the moment.

In practice this can look like gentle, guided conversation about past and present experiences. She helps people name feelings, notice patterns and try small changes between sessions. Sessions often involve reflecting on relationships, managing difficult emotions and building clearer communication with others.

Her background includes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she uses to guide professional practice. She has three years' experience supporting people through trauma, abuse and life transitions. Grace speaks English and Swahili which she uses in sessions as needed.

People who choose to work with her are invited to move at their own pace. She encourages practical steps alongside emotional work, so that conversations link to everyday life. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site's booking steps to match with her and arrange a time to meet.

How different approaches can help online

Grace describes an integrative way of working that draws on evidence-based techniques to suit each person. Two approaches commonly used in integrative work are described below in plain terms.

One approach focuses on talking through emotions and past experiences to understand how they affect current behaviour. This helps when patterns of attachment, abandonment fears or relationship difficulties are causing distress. It aims to make links between early experiences and present reactions so people can try new responses.

Another approach emphasises practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as paced breathing, grounding and simple behavioural steps. This kind of work supports people dealing with overwhelm, panic or difficulty sleeping by giving concrete tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works together with each person to decide what fits best. She will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family, work or study commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It can also let people choose not to use video if that feels better for them.
