About Ursula
Counsellor Ursula Grant is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 35 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, parenting difficulties, depression, family matters, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes.
Ursula listens without judgement and helps people feel heard. She offers time to talk through what is happening and to practise clearer ways of responding. She also teaches assertiveness skills and works on building practical routines at home and work to reduce overwhelm.
Her background includes a Master of Counselling (MSc) in Therapeutic Counselling and long experience in education and health settings. She ran a special needs school for 20 years and worked in the NHS for 12 years. She also supervises other counsellors.
In session Ursula draws on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused methods. That means she can listen for underlying themes, challenge unhelpful thinking, and help set small, doable goals.
Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward. Practical steps and coping strategies are offered alongside space to reflect. People who want clear tools and time to talk often find this approach useful.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Ursula uses client-centred therapy to listen and follow what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on understanding feelings and building a trusting working relationship, which helps when someone needs time to be heard.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. CBT offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking, often through small exercises and experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ursula will discuss what seems helpful and adjust methods as goals become clearer. The decision is collaborative and based on the client's needs, preferences and life demands.
Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online counselling because it can fit around work, childcare or travel. Online sessions can make it easier to have a shorter check-in, avoid travel time, or use a quieter room at work or home without needing to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats, so check which ones are offered when you arrange your first appointment.
