Kalpna Kerai, BACP

Kalpna Kerai offers a warm, person-focused way of working that centres on the relationship between counsellor and client. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people tackle stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Kalpna also supports people facing trauma, addictions and challenges with motivation and confidence.

Her style is calm and accepting. Sessions aim to be a place to talk honestly without fear of judgement. Kalpna encourages short-term goals alongside deeper reflection when that suits the person she is supporting.

With 13 years of experience, she has worked across a range of concerns from grief and depression to sleep and eating difficulties. She also works with people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career pressures.

Kalpna uses approaches such as attachment-based work and client-centred counselling to help people understand patterns that affect their relationships and self-worth. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set practical steps and motivational interviewing to help with change and addictions.

Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. If someone is unsure whether this style fits them, Kalpna invites an initial conversation to find the best way forward.

How Kalpna's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness and separation and can be useful for relationship concerns and self-worth. Client-centred counselling puts the person at the heart of sessions and relies on empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own solutions. Solution-focused therapy looks at practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals quickly.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Kalpna will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to fit a person’s goals and preferences. She aims to make that decision together so the plan fits how someone wants to work and what they want to change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to keep continuity when life changes or geographic distance is a factor.
