Ursula Grant, BACP

Ursula Grant focuses on supporting people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, whether those pressures come from work, family life, or relationships. She places emphasis on helping clients build self-esteem and confidence while offering a listening presence when outside support is absent. Her approach centres on creating a space where someone can be heard and valued without judgement, and on practical steps to make life more manageable.

She has training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), work with suicidal ideation, and couples and sex therapy, and she brings experience in working with families and children. Ursula teaches assertiveness skills and works with clients to find ways to structure home and business life to improve everyday effectiveness. She draws on a varied background that includes twelve years of work in the NHS and two decades as the owner of a special needs school.

Her formal qualifications include an MCs in Therapeutic Counselling, an accredited membership of BACP, and recognition as a qualified supervisor of counsellors. Ursula offers practical, compassionate support aimed at helping people make sense of their situation and move toward clearer choices and improved coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ursula often draws on client-centred work, which emphasises empathic listening and helping people explore their own priorities and values - an approach that supports self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional processing. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused techniques are also part of her toolkit, offering short-term, goal-oriented steps that can be useful for managing stress, improving relationships, and tackling practical challenges.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Registered professionals and therapists work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Ursula can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient.
