About Kalpna
Kalpna Kerai is a counsellor who uses client-centred and attachment-based approaches to help people feel heard and understood. She draws on 13 years of experience in the United Kingdom and focuses on practical support for everyday problems. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.
She helps people with stress and anxiety and with issues around addictions and trauma. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder and depression.
Background and approach
Kalpna works with concerns such as sleep and eating problems, anger, and motivation to change. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication difficulties and parenting strain. She offers help with career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and adjustment to life changes.
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment difficulties, autism and body image concerns. Kalpna creates a calm space where clients can talk without fear of being judged. She listens closely and follows each person’s lead to set the pace.
Sessions aim to make small, realistic changes that build confidence and coping skills. Clients may find the work practical and goal-focused when needed, yet sensitive to deeper feelings. Her blend of motivational, solution-focused and existential ideas supports people to clarify values and take steps that matter to them.

How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and trust. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of relating to others and themselves. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work; the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace to build understanding and self-acceptance. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and personal values when facing uncertainty or loss. It can be useful for career questions, grief and major life transitions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kalpna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods together that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to immediate concerns while also addressing deeper patterns when needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone calls suit those who need a simpler setup or have limited bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins, reflective writing or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and busy lives.
