Belinda Gray, BACP

Belinda Gray is a counsellor who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship concerns and changes that feel overwhelming. Belinda works in English and sees clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally.

She focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name what is causing them distress. Sessions aim to make space for difficult feelings while also finding small, useful steps forward. Belinda draws on approaches that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness and clearer thinking.

Over 14 years she has supported people with grief, low self-esteem and depression, as well as sleep and eating difficulties. She has also assisted those facing parenting challenges, career decisions and coping with life transitions. Her additional focus areas include attachment concerns, body image, codependency and issues linked to neurodiversity.

Belinda uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness work and client-centred talking. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. Work in sessions usually combines practical exercises with reflective discussion.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. If someone is unsure about starting, Belinda encourages that first step and helps them decide on realistic goals for therapy.

How Belinda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Belinda commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Belinda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that feel suitable. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds, so the process stays collaborative.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings that fit their routine.
