About Grace
Grace Tiri helps people facing stress, anxiety and mood concerns. She supports people with panic attacks, eating and bipolar-related challenges, and those managing major life changes. Grace frames therapy as a practical partnership where the client's experience leads the way.
Grace works from a strengths-based view and encourages small, doable steps. She listens first, then helps people try tools that fit their life. Sessions are conversational and focused on what is most helpful right now.
With four years of professional experience, Grace draws on a mix of approaches. She uses client-centred conversations to follow the person’s priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.
Mindfulness and dialectical behaviour ideas are used where calm, emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure about the next step.
Grace is an AASW social worker based in Australia and works in English and Swahili. She encourages people to take the first step even when they feel uncertain, and she aims to make sessions clear, practical and respectful.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building a trusting conversation. Online sessions keep this by allowing the therapist to listen closely, reflect what matters, and support the client's choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact; online sessions can include practical worksheets, thought records and homework to try between meetings. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance; these skills can be taught and practised in session and reinforced with simple exercises for daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. This is done together, and plans can change as therapy progresses to better suit the person.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions when time is tight, and it removes travel time so people can focus on the work rather than logistics.
