About Grace
Grace Symphony is a humanistic counsellor who offers a calm, accepting space for people to talk through difficult feelings. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings a practical, person-centred outlook to sessions. Grace draws on humanistic ideas that focus on self-discovery and personal choice.
She combines this with elements of transactional analysis and Gestalt approaches to help people see how past experiences shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in the here and now. She has a background in pharmacy spanning four decades, including work linked to psychiatry, trauma and mental health. That clinical experience gives her an understanding of how medication and talking therapies can fit together.
Grace treats each person as an individual rather than a list of symptoms. Her main specialities include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment concerns, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, fertility and fatherhood issues among other focuses.
Grace lived and worked in Africa for 20 years before returning to the United Kingdom, and she brings that multicultural perspective into her work. Sessions are offered in English and she works online through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Grace aims to help people take small, practical steps toward feeling steadier and more understood.

Online support
She also brings in Gestalt techniques that emphasise the here and now. These are simple exercises and questions that help people identify where they feel stuck and try out new ways of noticing and responding. Transactional analysis supplies practical tools to understand patterns that began in earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's needs, goals and preferences, and may combine methods as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and healthcare appointments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
