Kalpna Kerai

Kalpna Kerai is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma. She takes a straightforward, empathetic approach so people feel heard. Her work also covers addictions, low self-esteem and motivation to change.

Clients are offered a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through problems. Sessions are aimed at helping someone make small, practical changes. Kalpna encourages honest conversation about feelings and the patterns that cause pain.

She draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to build trust and understand relationship patterns. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals and track progress. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants help finding momentum.

With 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Kalpna has worked across a range of concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress and career pressures.

Her practice is practical and conversational. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way and then try doable steps to change things. People who value a warm, goal-focused style often find this approach helpful.

Approaches used in online work and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when someone struggles with trust, abandonment or repeating the same relationship problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session, with the counsellor offering acceptance and reflection to help people find their own solutions. Solution-Focused Therapy breaks concerns into small, practical goals and tracks steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which way of working to try and adapt it as things change, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can shorten travel time, allow quicker check-ins between appointments and let people choose quieter times that suit their day. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
