Kalpna Kerai , BACP

Kalpna Kerai is a BACP counsellor who focuses on attachment and client-centred ways of working. She draws on 13 years of experience to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma-related concerns. Her approach aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Kalpna helps clients identify small changes that can make daily life easier.

Her work often addresses addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing sleep or eating difficulties, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment issues and body image concerns.

Kalpna uses an attachment-based perspective to understand how past relationships shape present patterns. She pairs that with client-centred listening to make sure each person feels heard. Solution-focused and motivational techniques are used when clients want to set short-term goals and build momentum.

People who choose her often appreciate clear, simple steps and a collaborative tone. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer online work. Therapy can be arranged through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling system.

How attachment and client-centred work translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In an online session this means exploring how you relate to others, noticing recurring behaviours, and practising new ways of interacting that feel safer and more helpful.

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's pace so the work stays relevant and meaningful. Solution-focused techniques add short-term goals to help people make concrete steps between appointments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and suggest ways of working that fit. Together you can try different approaches and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler when you want an audio-only chat. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
