About Kalpna
Kalpna Kerai is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma. She draws on compassionate listening and practical conversation to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Her style aims to help clients feel heard and seen while they begin to make small changes.
With 13 years of professional experience, Kalpna has worked with people facing addictions, grief, low self-esteem and motivation difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with depression, bipolar mood concerns and challenges around intimacy and relationships. Her work covers a wide range of life stresses such as career change, parenting strain, chronic illness and compassion fatigue. Kalpna uses approaches that centre the client and their relationships, including attachment-based and client-centred ways of working.
She also draws on solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to set achievable goals. These methods are used to help people break large problems into manageable steps and to build on strengths. People often come to her wanting practical ways to reduce worry, manage cravings, or rebuild confidence after loss or trauma.
She works collaboratively to set aims and checks progress along the way. The focus is on clear, doable strategies rather than medical or diagnostic labels. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Kalpna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. If someone is ready to start, she guides them through the sign-up and matching process so they can arrange sessions that fit their life.
How therapy approaches adapt to online sessions
Kalpna uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. That approach helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears or patterns that repeat in relationships. Client-centred work means the conversation is led by the person and paced to their needs, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and acceptance so people can explore feelings without judgement.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Kalpna will talk through options and help choose approaches that match each person's goals, preferences and what they want to change. The plan can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have fuller conversations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life and busy schedules.
