All About Grace Hawkins

Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist

My style is warm, compassionate, and inclusive. I see therapy not as a process of “fixing” you, but as a collaborative relationship where experiences can be explored openly and without judgement.

Meaningful change is most likely to happen when therapy is grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. This sits at the heart of my approach and is something we build together over time.

My training was integrative, meaning I draw on different therapeutic perspectives to tailor therapy to your specific needs. The approach I take to our sessions will be tailored to what you hope to gain from therapy, rather than by a prescribed agenda.

I welcome adult (18+) clients from all backgrounds and identities.

How therapy with me can help

People come to therapy for many reasons and with a wide range of concerns. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or sense that something isn’t quite right. Sometimes there’s an internal tug-of-war, where different parts of you want different things, leaving decisions feeling confusing or exhausting.

In therapy, we can slow things down and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we can explore patterns that may be holding you back and untangle inner conflicts that feel difficult to navigate alone.

You may come to therapy feeling uncertain about who you are or how you want to live your life. This can be a reflective space to reconnect with your values and strengthen your sense of self.

Therapy with me isn’t just about reflection and exploration. It can also be a practical, supportive space where we can try different tools or ways of working that can help you make meaningful changes in your life.
