About Grace
Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a counsellor with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Grace sees therapy as a collaborative process and aims to offer calm, focussed support to people taking the first steps to change.
Her approach begins by listening to each person's story and recognising their strengths. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, sleep difficulties and low self-esteem.
How Grace works
Grace also helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career decisions and major life changes. She draws on several approaches to shape sessions around what suits each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviours.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to notice feelings and act in line with values. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s experience and pace. Grace also uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the work.
She supports people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. The work may include practical coping tools, talking through emotional patterns and trying small experiments between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Grace aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can explore challenges, try new ways of coping and build on their existing strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Grace often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and panic. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her way of working by keeping the client's experience central and moving at their pace.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needs and goals become clearer. Decisions are shaped by what feels most helpful to the person and what fits their everyday life.
Online therapy with Grace can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow for flexible, written exchanges and can suit people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments, and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
