About Kalpna
Counsellor and BACP member Kalpna Kerai has 13 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with people facing a wide range of life and relationship concerns.
Kalpna uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s views central. Sessions focus on clear listening and helping the client make sense of their thoughts and feelings. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
She offers pragmatic tools from solution-focused work and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to set achievable goals and help people make changes step by step. Existential ideas also appear in sessions when clients want to look at meaning, values and life direction.
In practice Kalpna asks straightforward questions and reflects what she hears. She helps clients name patterns, try different responses and review what works. Sessions can include short-term goals or longer work depending on what the person wants.
Areas of concern she commonly addresses include grief, eating and sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar and depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue and chronic illness. Additional focuses listed are attachment issues, body image, communication problems and codependency.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. Online conversations can help identify recurring patterns and try out new ways of connecting. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, listens carefully and helps them name their own priorities. Solution-focused therapy targets small, practical steps and quick changes that can be reviewed between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kalpna will discuss goals and preferences and agree an approach together. That helps ensure sessions stay relevant to the person’s needs and life circumstances.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before you book. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and other commitments.
