About Grace
Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of practice in the UK and focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related concerns. Grace sees therapy as a collaboration and respects each person's story and strengths.
She creates a calm, empathetic space where clients can talk about what is hard. Conversations are kindly challenging when needed, and aimed at practical change.
Background and approach
Her approach is person-focused and goal-oriented, so sessions balance listening with workable steps forward. Grace has experience with stress, trauma and abuse, depression and eating concerns. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, body image issues and problems with sleep.
She works with life changes, career questions, anger and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centred counselling. She draws from these approaches to match techniques to each person's needs, rather than use a single method for everyone.
Sessions can include practical tools for coping, strategies for mood and anxiety, and ways to rebuild self-esteem and self-love. Grace supports parents with parenting strain and people facing guilt, shame or isolation, helping them set achievable steps toward change.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments, which can reduce panic, worry and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on recognising and naming emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others, helping with intimacy-related struggles and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace will talk through the methods above and others she uses, and decide together which fits best with a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions toward coping skills, emotional work or relationship concerns as needed.
Online therapy with Grace is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and changing routines.
