About Grace
Grace Tiri is an AASW social worker who supports people managing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, bipolar and depression. She also helps people navigating major life changes and the emotional fallout that comes with them. Grace speaks English and Swahili and brings four years of professional experience to her practice.
Grace believes each person knows their story best. She works in a warm, collaborative way and treats people as the experts on their lives. Sessions focus on small, practical steps alongside listening and reflection.
In therapy she draws on client-centred approaches to make space for a person's values and goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are offered to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Grace also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Conversations are goal-focused and paced to what the person is ready for. Her approach is especially suited to work and wellbeing concerns where practical coping strategies matter.
People can expect a straightforward process: talk about what matters now, try doable strategies between sessions, and review what helps. Grace aims to support clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better day-to-day functioning as people work towards their goals.
How Grace uses talking therapies online
Grace combines client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people struggling with mood, anxiety and work-related stress. Client-centred therapy means the person sets the topics and priorities, while the therapist listens and reflects to clarify what matters most. CBT focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and testing small experiments to change them.She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to teach practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools. These skills suit people who need concrete strategies to manage strong emotions or reduce impulsive reactions. The therapist will discuss which combination of approaches fits the person's goals and preferences, making the choice together rather than imposing a single method.
