About Grace

Grace Lee is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life changes and ADHD, and works with issues linked to codependency. Her style is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on building a reliable working relationship from the first session.

She describes therapy as a practical, collaborative process. Sessions often include breathwork, grounding practices and simple body-based techniques to help calm the nervous system. Grace also uses reflective writing and journaling as tools to help people make sense of difficult experiences and recurring patterns.

Her background includes three years of clinical practice and experience drawn from previous work as a journalist. That experience shapes how she helps people tell and rethink their personal stories, and it informs practical exercises used between sessions.

Grace brings together different methods rather than relying on a single model. In the room she may draw on cognitive-behavioural ideas for thinking patterns, psychodynamic ideas for relational themes, and somatic exercises for bodily regulation. The exact mix depends on what the person wants to work on.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that combine body and story

Grace draws on evidence-based therapeutic ideas that link how the body responds to stress with what people tell themselves. Cognitive-behavioural approaches look at how thoughts influence mood and behaviour, and they help people develop new, manageable ways of thinking and coping with anxiety or low mood.

Somatic or body-based techniques focus on breathing, grounding and simple regulation exercises to reduce physical tension and help the nervous system settle. These methods can be helpful for people dealing with trauma responses, chronic stress or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace treats therapy as a joint process and will adapt methods to fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She typically combines talk-based reflection with practical exercises and may suggest journaling or short between-session tasks to support progress.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking to confirm what is offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit appointments around work, travel or family commitments, and they can reduce the time spent travelling. Others like options that do not require video for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Discussing location, timing and preferred ways of meeting is part of the initial matching and scheduling process.
