About Ursula
Ursula Grant offers a calm, patient presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She aims to help clients regain confidence, manage difficult feelings and find practical ways to make day-to-day life easier. Ursula presents herself as someone who will listen without judgement and help people feel heard and valued.
She uses talking therapies to support people with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, depression, trauma and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions often include building assertiveness skills and looking at small changes, such as routines at home or work, that can make life more manageable. Ursula trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a Master of Counselling (MCons in Therapeutic Counselling). She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works as a qualified supervisor of counsellors.
Her background includes 12 years in the NHS and running a special needs school for 20 years. In practice she draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. That can mean focusing on current problems and solutions, or looking at past patterns that affect how someone feels now.
She aims to keep things straightforward and practical, so therapy fits into everyday life. People who contact Ursula usually begin by describing what feels hardest right now. From there she helps set clear goals and practical steps to move forward.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Ursula works online
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and ease anxiety or low mood. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety and everyday coping skills.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns from the past that repeat today. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and make different choices moving forward. This approach can be useful for relationship and intimacy issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ursula will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. The collaboration makes it easier to set clear aims and measure progress.
Online therapy can make sessions fit around life more easily, helping people keep treatment going when they are busy or travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling to suit work and family commitments. Because the biography does not detail specific session formats, please confirm available options before booking.
