Grace Lee, BACP

Grace Lee is an integrative therapist who blends several therapeutic modalities to meet each person's unique needs. She draws on cognitive-behavioural, body-based, and psychodynamic approaches to offer practical tools alongside deeper exploration of patterns and past experiences. Her style is warm and human-focused, with an emphasis on building strong rapport - she sees the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful progress.

Grace works collaboratively with clients to identify what they need and which techniques might be most helpful. She has particular experience supporting nervous system regulation, trauma, neurodiversity, and grief, and has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and major life transitions. Her practice incorporates both skills-based strategies and reflective exploration, adapting methods to the focus of the work.

Fascinated by the mind-body connection, Grace brings somatic practices into sessions when appropriate - for example breathwork, mindfulness, and grounding exercises - and is training as a yoga teacher to deepen that work. With a background in journalism, she also uses narrative techniques and may invite clients to explore their stories through reflective writing or journaling. She recognizes that asking for help is a significant step and looks forward to supporting clients as they move forward.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Grace Lee commonly uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for managing symptoms - this approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. She also integrates body-based or somatic methods such as breathwork, mindfulness, and grounding practices to support nervous system regulation and to help clients reconnect with bodily experience.

In addition, Grace draws on narrative-informed work that invites clients to explore and reframe their personal stories through reflective writing and conversation. These approaches together allow for both skill-building and deeper meaning-making depending on the issue at hand. Finding the right mix is part of the therapeutic journey - Grace works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to those who cannot attend in person. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide more immediate or lower-intensity options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care across locations.
