About Grace

Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on seven years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety and other life struggles. Grace aims to build a warm, respectful relationship with each person she meets.

She sees therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions are led by the person’s own goals and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy, gentle challenge and practical tools.

Background and approach

Grace respects each person's strengths and helps them use those strengths to move forward. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, depression, eating issues, low self-esteem and difficulty with relationships or intimacy.

She also works with sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career changes, bipolar mood challenges and coping with life transitions. Grace uses several therapeutic ideas to suit different needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical approaches and emotionally-focused work.

That mix allows her to be flexible and match methods to what matters to each person. People often come to talk about body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love and social anxiety. Grace offers straightforward support, practical strategies and a calm listening space for people taking steps towards change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person guides the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Grace will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which approaches to try. Decisions about methods are made together so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online formats make it easier to access regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel, while still allowing focused therapeutic conversations.
