AASW social worker - life purpose and mood concerns

  • Eating and body image
  • CBT and DBT techniques

About Grace

Grace Tiri is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, depression and coping with life changes. Grace also lists life purpose among her focus areas and supports people who feel unsure about what comes next.

Grace uses a conversational, client-centred style. She treats the person as the expert on their own story and helps them notice their strengths. Sessions are about clear steps and practical skills rather than abstract theory.

Her methods draw on cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour strategies to manage mood and anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used to explore motivation and sustain change. Grace explains tools plainly and helps people try them between sessions.

People come to her when routines have shifted after work, relationship or health changes. She often helps with eating and body image concerns, feelings of abandonment or isolation, and the stress that comes with caregiving or immigration. She also works with panic symptoms, dissociation and postpartum mood changes.

Grace works in English and Swahili and brings attention to multicultural concerns when relevant. Her sessions focus on what practical steps a person can take now. To begin, callers use the site's matching process to pick a session and schedule a first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Grace commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness approaches. Client-centred work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s priorities to shape sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going and practising new responses. Mindfulness helps people notice stress or mood shifts and develop steadying attention skills that can reduce reactivity.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will talk through the options and together decide what methods match the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration may mean trying a few techniques to see what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, make shorter check-ins possible when needed, and avoid travel time. Practical tools from CBT and mindfulness can be practised between sessions, helping people apply what they learn to everyday situations.
