About Grace
Grace Tiri is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, eating concerns, bipolar disorder and depression. Grace also helps people navigating major life changes and the emotional fallout that follows.
She approaches each person with calm and respect, starting from the belief that you know your story best. Grace uses a narrative-informed style that invites people to tell their story and notice the patterns that shape their everyday life.
Background and approach
She blends this with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to help manage difficult thoughts and reactions. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches are used to strengthen coping during intense moments. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward.
Grace listens, asks questions that help uncover unhelpful stories, and works with you to build small experiments and new ways of reacting. She pays attention to cultural and migration-related factors when they matter to a person’s experience. Her work commonly addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, panic attacks, postpartum mood changes, and feelings of isolation or guilt.
She also supports people facing caregiver stress, issues with control or dissociation, and concerns about life purpose. Grace offers sessions in English and Swahili. She practises in Australia and provides online formats suited to different needs, such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Grace directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Grace commonly uses Narrative Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people spot the stories that shape their life and consider alternative narratives. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at your pace to build trust. CBT offers straightforward techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Grace will talk with you about your goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. She adapts techniques over time, combining narrative exploration with skill-building from CBT or supportive listening from client-centred work as needed.
Online therapy with Grace is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and to maintain regular contact between sessions.
