Kalpna Kerai , BACP

Kalpna Kerai is a UK-licensed therapist with 13 years of professional experience, registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through trauma and abuse, while also supporting motivation, self-esteem, and confidence building.

Kalpna creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored openly. She works collaboratively with each person to understand their priorities and to develop practical steps toward change. Beginning therapy often requires courage, and Kalpna acknowledges and supports that first choice to seek help.

Her practice aims to combine compassionate listening with clear, goal-oriented work so clients feel understood and supported while they address difficult experiences and build new coping strategies. Kalpna is accepting new clients and offers help to people both in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Kalpna uses client-centered therapy to place each person at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients shape the goals and pace of therapy, which can help with self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns. Attachment-based therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships and early connections, helping people understand how past bonds affect current emotions and behaviors and supporting healing from abandonment or trust issues. Motivational interviewing is a practical, respectful method for enhancing a person’s own motivation to change, often useful for addictions, ambivalence, and making life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the process, and Kalpna works together with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy is collaborative - techniques are adapted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work between meetings, while allowing therapists and clients to tailor the format to what feels most helpful.
