Kalpna Kerai

Kalpna Kerai is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people through hard times. She draws on client-centred work and attachment-based thinking to listen carefully and respond to what each person brings. Her way of working is calm and direct. She aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and confusing situations.

Over 13 years in practice, Kalpna has supported people with stress and anxiety and with addiction concerns. She has also helped those coping with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and motivation. Other areas she covers include sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and workplace pressures.

Her sessions often focus on how relationships shape feelings and choices, and on building small, practical steps forward. That can mean setting short-term goals, trying new ways of communicating, or noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. Kalpna uses solution-focused ideas alongside motivational interviewing to help people find clarity and keep moving.

She works with people who are processing big life changes and with those facing long-term illness, caregiver stress or cancer-related concerns. She also offers support for intimacy-related worries, body image and commitment issues. The tone in sessions is respectful and non-judgemental, and the pace is set by the person attending.

Kalpna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and holds experience supporting people around hospice and end-of-life counselling matters. If you are unsure where to begin, she encourages a short initial step to see if the approach feels right.

How Kalpna applies therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help when patterns of trust, abandonment or closeness create repeated problems in adult life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting what you say so thoughts feel clearer; it helps people build confidence and find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kalpna explores goals, preferences and the issues you bring and then agrees a way forward. That collaborative planning can include trying different methods to see what feels most helpful.

The profile did not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and they can make regular check-ins easier to keep. Others appreciate shorter or more focused meetings when time is tight, or audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Kalpna supports clients to shape sessions that fit everyday life while working through stress, grief, addiction or end-of-life concerns.
