Lucy Gray, NCPS

Lucy Gray is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, listening presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, relationship and family issues, ADHD-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger and career strain.

Lucy works in a person-centred way and uses simple, practical tools in sessions. She brings in ideas from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural approaches, mindfulness and solution-focused thinking to suit each person. Sessions are shaped around what someone needs in the room, and she aims to help people feel heard and more able to make changes.

Her style is creative and collaborative. She may invite drawing, imagery, or using everyday objects to help clarify feelings and patterns. Mindfulness exercises and short practical tasks are offered when they feel helpful, and conversations often include exploring different parts of experience or relationships.

Lucy has three years of clinical experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She has particular experience supporting neurodivergent adults and people in university contexts, focusing on issues such as burnout, communication, family strain and self-esteem. Her approach is gentle and practical, aiming to make therapy feel relevant to day-to-day life.

When you begin, she listens first and follows what you need. Her sessions combine talking with hands-on activities and reflective exercises so people can notice small changes and build new ways of coping.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lucy uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps when people notice repeating relationship habits or feel unsure about trust and closeness. She also uses client-centred methods, which means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot thinking and behaviour patterns and try small experiments that can reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lucy treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adapts what she offers to match someone’s goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. She will check in about what seems useful and change direction if something does not fit.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use hands-on exercises or guided mindfulness from wherever they are, while keeping the focus on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
