About Grace
Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a counsellor with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Grace frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers a calm, empathetic space for people to talk through hard things.
She aims to support and empower clients as they make changes in their lives. Grace believes each person brings strengths that can help them move forward.
Background and approach
She works in a way that is kindly challenging while remaining warm and respectful. Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the individual and on practical steps that can be taken between appointments. Her experience includes helping people with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and eating concerns.
She also supports work around self-esteem, body image, guilt and shame, and coping with life changes. Parenting questions and relationship or intimacy-related worries are also within her scope of practice. Grace draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred ways of working, and cognitive behavioural techniques.
She also uses emotion-focused ideas and elements from dialectical behaviour therapy when relevant. The aim is to tailor the sessions to the person's goals and pace. Sessions take place in English and are offered online in several formats.
Grace accepts international clients and encourages a straightforward first step to begin the process.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then focus on actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for panic attacks, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathy and non-judgemental listening so clients can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Grace will listen to your goals, try out different ways of working, and agree what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what to adjust.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face while saving travel time, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting duties, or travel.
