About Kalpna
Kalpna Kerai is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting strain and relationship concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, sleep and eating issues, anger and career pressures.
She aims to create a straightforward space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people notice patterns in their relationships and everyday life, and then try small changes to see what shifts.
Kalpna draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centred and solution-focused ways of working to keep sessions grounded and goal-orientated. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is wrestling with addiction, change or mixed feelings about the next step.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, blended family issues, body image and chronic illness. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, communication and commitment. These are addressed in short-term or ongoing work depending on what the person wants.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Kalpna offers support that focuses on what is happening now and what can be tried next. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How sessions work
How these approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people understand patterns in closeness, separation and trust so they can test different ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings and decisions by using their own experience as the starting point. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on short-term, practical steps. It identifies small, specific changes that can lead to noticeable improvement in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. That dialogue guides whether to emphasise attachment ideas, client-centred listening or solution-focused tasks over time, and the plan can be adjusted as things change.
The original profile does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel. They can shorten commute time, allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break, or let someone avoid being on camera if that is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors often use online work to keep therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
