About Grace
Grace Tiri is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, depression and coping with life changes. Grace speaks English and Swahili and aims to help people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Her way of working is straightforward. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that can change how people respond to stress and difficult moods.
Grace draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness-based ideas. That means sessions mix thinking about thought patterns with learning simple skills to manage emotions and behaviour. She also includes elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit the person’s goals.
In sessions she helps people address eating and body-image concerns, panic and mood shifts, and the strain that comes with significant life changes. She also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, immigration stress and isolation.
Her approach encourages people to identify strengths and try new responses in everyday situations. Practical exercises and short skills practice are used between sessions. People are invited to set clear goals and review progress in each meeting.
How Grace uses structured approaches in online sessions
Grace commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep stress and low mood active. CBT sessions often involve tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying small behavioural experiments between meetings.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. That approach supports clearer goal-setting and helps guide which skills to practise. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are sometimes included for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong mood swings or panic are present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which methods suit the presenting problem, goals and personal preferences. Plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted if a different focus would be more helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Grace aims to set up practical steps and skills that people can use between sessions to manage day-to-day stress and mood changes.
