Ursula Grant offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life change. She helps clients talk through relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain and career uncertainty. Ursula focuses on building self-esteem and finding small steps that make day-to-day life easier.

Her style is straightforward and listening-led. She creates a space where someone can be heard without judgement and work out what matters most. Conversations aim to be down-to-earth, with time spent on clearer thinking and practical problem solving.

Background and approach

Ursula has 35 years of experience and holds an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works as a qualified supervisor of counsellors. Her background includes 12 years in NHS services and two decades running a special needs school, which shaped her interest in practical routines and assertiveness skills.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches depending on need, such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic reflection. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and measure progress. The blend aims to make therapy relevant and usable in everyday life.

People often leave with clearer priorities, better coping strategies and simple routines that fit family and work life. Ursula works with each person to choose the pace and focus that feels right.

How Ursula's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist offers empathetic presence and helps people describe what matters and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and routines; it is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ursula will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan that draws on different methods as required. That collaborative choice helps shape session structure and which tools are tried between meetings.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when connectivity or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins, quick exercises or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family and busy days, while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
