Belinda Gray, BACP

Belinda Gray is a counsellor who uses client-centred work to help people feel heard and understood. She draws on 14 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.

In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients name what matters most to them. She combines that person-focused stance with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. This mix supports people who are managing anxiety, low mood, stress or difficult life changes.

Belinda has worked with people facing relationship strains and intimacy-related worries. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addictions, grief and challenges around self-esteem. She uses mindfulness techniques to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and respond differently over time.

She offers a calm, straightforward style that suits people who prefer clear steps alongside open conversation. Her approach includes exploring attachment issues and how past experiences shape current reactions. She encourages small, achievable changes rather than big overnight shifts.

Belinda welcomes people who need help with sleeping or eating difficulties, parenting stresses, career questions, ADHD-related coping, and managing anger. She also works with concerns connected to health, identity and life transitions. If you want a therapist who listens first and works collaboratively, she may be a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Many of her methods translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in line with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with a client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. This happens together, with small steps and regular check-ins to see what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy when routines shift, while the therapist helps adapt exercises and practices to each person’s everyday context.
