About Grace
Grace Kamau helps people tackle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self‑esteem problems, coping with life changes and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works in English and Swahili and is a BACP member with three years' experience.
Grace uses an integrative way of working, combining ideas from different psychological theories to suit each person's situation. Sessions focus on practical conversation and understanding what is causing distress. She aims to be open and honest in the therapeutic relationship and to treat clients without judgement.
In practice she often addresses issues linked to abandonment and attachment, body image and codependency, and communication or control problems. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence, infidelity and family of origin difficulties. Other areas she covers include guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation.
Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and may include reflection on past experiences, exploring current patterns in relationships, and learning ways to cope with difficult feelings. Grace explains things in plain language and keeps the session pace manageable.
She practises from the United Kingdom and brings three years of counselling experience to her work. People considering sessions are asked to follow the service booking steps and complete the brief matching questionnaire before arranging a first appointment.
How Grace approaches therapy online
Grace describes her work as integrative, which means she draws on more than one evidence-based technique and adapts the approach to what the client needs. For example, one approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and learn practical ways to change them, which can suit relationship problems and communication issues. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and reducing their emotional hold, which can help with trauma, grief and intense feelings.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor and client assess goals, preferences and practical needs together, and pick techniques that fit the situation. This is a collaborative process and may shift over time as goals change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people choose audio-only sessions if they prefer not to be on camera, or shorter sessions to fit a work break, so it is worth checking which are offered when you arrange your first appointment.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
