Belinda Gray

Belinda Gray is a counsellor who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage strong emotions. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and anger, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel doable and normal. Belinda holds BACP and has 14 years of experience in the field, working in the United Kingdom.

Belinda builds a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. She keeps conversations focused on what matters now and what can change, using approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to do things differently.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thinking patterns and behaviour. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings, and mindfulness practices to help people find steadiness in tense moments.

Belinda supports people through grief, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and a range of personality and attachment difficulties. She also brings experience with trauma, bipolar and ADHD-related challenges, and with the ripple effects of long-term health issues.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Belinda helps clients set clear, manageable goals and tries out small steps between sessions. She encourages people to notice progress, however small, and to build useful skills they can use day to day.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can move toward a life that matters to them. It suits issues like anxiety, depression and the distress that follows life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early and current relationships affect emotional reactions and trust. This can be useful when relationship patterns, intimacy or attachment issues cause distress.

Belinda treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If something does not feel helpful, she will adapt the work together with the client.

Please confirm which online formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep therapy going when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide on an approach that suits practical needs and therapeutic goals.
