About Ursula

Ursula Grant offers practical, down-to-earth support for parents and people juggling busy home lives. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting concerns. Ursula aims to help clients build self-esteem and confidence while providing a calm, non-judgemental space to be heard.

Her sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens first and then helps people try simple, realistic changes. That can include learning assertiveness, structuring home and work routines, and finding coping steps for difficult emotions.

Ursula has worked in the NHS for 12 years and ran a special needs school for 20 years. She holds an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Her approach draws on several ways of working to suit different needs. She uses ideas from client-centred work to make sure the client feels heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used for practical change, and psychodynamic ideas can help make sense of patterns that repeat.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and clear. Ursula can suggest short-term solutions for immediate problems and longer conversations for deeper issues. Prospective clients are encouraged to start with a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online work

Ursula draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise the client's voice and experience. That means sessions begin with careful listening and an emphasis on what matters to the client, helping people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as different issues come into focus.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering ways to maintain continuity when schedules shift. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to tailor sessions so they are practical and relevant to everyday family and parenting challenges.
