About Grace

Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a BACP counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She approaches therapy as a team effort and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Grace aims to offer a calm, compassionate space where people can take the first steps toward change and feel supported along the way.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Other areas she helps with include eating difficulties, sleep problems, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related strains. Grace also supports people facing life changes, career worries, anger and issues connected to body image, guilt and shame. Her way of working is flexible and grounded in practical skills.

She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centred listening to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools and emotionally-focused ideas may be used to manage intense emotions and improve connection in relationships. Sessions are conversational and aim to build coping strategies that fit into daily life.

Grace emphasises small, achievable steps and helps clients practise techniques between meetings. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning, reducing distress and increasing self-compassion. People choose Grace when they want steady support for complex issues like post-traumatic stress, panic, social anxiety and isolation.

Her approach balances empathy with gentle challenge so clients can explore change at their own pace.

How Grace blends proven approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems with avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to reduce panic, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey and Grace treats it as a collaborative process. She will discuss what feels most helpful for the person, try methods in session and adjust based on goals and preferences. That means therapy is tailored over time rather than fixed from the start.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work interactively on exercises. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between meetings and a low-key way to practise techniques. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while using the approaches above to address trauma, anxiety and everyday stress.
