About Ursula
BACP accredited member; MSc in Therapeutic Counselling; 35 years' experience. Ursula Grant works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, self esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. She describes her role as listening and helping people make sense of their situation.
Ursula uses approaches drawn from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy and solution-focused work. She teaches assertiveness skills and helps people plan practical changes at home and at work to feel more effective. Sessions may include talking through difficult feelings, learning new ways to respond to stress, and setting small realistic goals.
Her background includes long experience in education and counselling. She spent 12 years working within UK public health settings and ran a special needs school for 20 years. She is also a qualified supervisor of counsellors and holds a Master of Science in Therapeutic Counselling.
Ursula says she is available to listen without judgement and to help clients build confidence. She notes experience with families and children in previous roles, and she offers support for parents managing household and work responsibilities. International clients may be accepted; sessions are offered in English.
For practical steps, clients are asked to use the site matching process to book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Ursula integrates counselling approaches in online work
Ursula commonly uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so people can speak freely and reflect on their feelings. This approach suits issues like low self esteem, grief and relationship concerns.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress and mood problems because it combines talking with practical tasks to try between sessions.
Finding the right way of working is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss different approaches and agree what to try based on the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Practical benefits of online counselling should be confirmed with the counsellor, as the biography does not list specific session formats. Please check which formats are available before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so counselling fits around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients shape the plan and adjust methods as things progress.
