About Grace
Grace Tiri is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and supports those managing mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Grace also works with people facing eating and body image issues and those adjusting to life changes.
She takes a practical, person-centred approach. Grace believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the conversation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, simple skills, and building steady coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. Grace uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centred conversations, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to reduce intense emotions and unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when they suit the situation. Her work often involves talking through patterns, trying small experiments between sessions, and practising tools for stress, panic and mood shifts. She pays attention to cultural and migration-related concerns and the ways isolation or caregiver stress can affect wellbeing.
Grace offers sessions in English and Swahili across video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. People who choose to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments to suit their needs.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and figure out their own next steps rather than being told what to do. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or depression going and teaches practical exercises to change them. These techniques suit problems like panic attacks, low mood, and unhelpful routines. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Grace treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options and try techniques together with the client to see what fits best. That means assessing goals, preferences and how a person responds to different tools, then adapting methods over time.
Online therapy with Grace is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat makes for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while using the approaches described above.
