About Grace

Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a counsellor who brings seven years of experience to her practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Grace sees therapy as a joint effort and treats people with respect and warmth.

She aims to offer a calm place where clients can talk through what matters to them and begin to make changes. Grace works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.

Background and approach

She also helps with eating concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem and anger. Practical issues such as career choices, parenting strain and coping with major life changes are part of her caseload as well. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred principles.

In sessions she listens closely, helps identify painful patterns and supports small steps toward different choices. She may also draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques when they fit the client’s needs. Grace pays attention to emotional experience and to what people value in life.

She invites clients to notice difficult feelings without judgment and to use their own strengths to try new ways of responding. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Grace uses a range of online formats to meet different preferences and schedules.

Online support

How Grace’s approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and the bonds that shape them. In online sessions this means noticing felt experience, naming emotions and working to change unhelpful interaction patterns or responses. EFT can help with relationship distress, intimacy concerns and deep emotional pain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It emphasises values-based steps and small, practical experiments to increase meaningful activity. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, low self-worth and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process and she adapts the approach as your needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and feel less formal for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact, quick reflections and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to choose the style that helps you engage most effectively.
