Grace Ovba-Adebiyi
Supportive counsellor focusing on practical change
About Grace
Grace Ovba-Adebiyi is a counsellor with seven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She approaches therapy as a collaborative process and treats each person as the expert in their own life.
She offers a calm and compassionate space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on recognising strengths and taking small steps toward clearer goals.
Background and approach
She aims to be supportive while also offering kindly challenge when it helps progress. Grace works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She also helps with eating and body image worries, low self-esteem, panic and post-traumatic stress.
Relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger and career difficulties are also within her practice. Her approach draws on well-known methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches guide practical tools and gentle exploration in sessions.
Grace supports people dealing with life transitions, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and struggles around self-love. Her style aims to balance understanding with practical ideas so people can try different ways of coping and notice small changes over time.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online wellbeing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports values-based action so people can take small steps toward what matters despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre and uses empathy and non-judgemental listening to build insight and self-acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the person and recommend methods that match those needs. That collaboration helps shape sessions so the approach feels useful rather than imposed.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to an in-person session and let visual cues guide the conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when a quieter or less visual check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing out thoughts helps clarity. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
