About Belinda

Belinda Gray helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and addictions using talking therapies that focus on thoughts, behaviours and values. She works with each person to create an open environment for discussing feelings and practical steps. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of experience.

Belinda uses a mix of approaches so sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward what matters to them.

Attachment-based work is used when past relationships affect current ones. That helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting. Client-centred methods mean the pace and focus are set together, so the person’s concerns guide each session.

Typical issues she supports include anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also works with people affected by trauma, abandonment, attachment difficulties and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Sessions address practical skills as well as feelings. Belinda offers clear explanations, simple exercises to practise between sessions, and regular review of progress. The emphasis is on manageable steps that fit into daily life.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Belinda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck by focusing on small, value-led steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.

Attachment-based methods look at how early relationships shape current ones and are used when relationship patterns or fear of abandonment are a main concern. This can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with the client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and personal preference, so the sessions feel collaborative and focused.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be adjusted for lower bandwidth or audio-only conversations if that suits everyday practicalities.
