Belinda Gray, BACP

Belinda Gray is a counsellor who uses practical, person-centred approaches to help people move through hard times. She draws on a mix of cognitive and mindfulness-based tools to address worries, low mood, grief and relationship strain. Belinda holds BACP accreditation and has 14 years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most to them. Sessions focus on everyday problems such as anxiety, sleep difficulties, addictions and coping with life changes. Belinda also works with concerns around attachment, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Her background includes supporting people after trauma and helping those facing chronic illness or ageing-related changes. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. Mindfulness exercises and an attachment-informed view often shape the conversations.

Belinda aims to keep therapy straightforward and goal-focused when that suits the person. She helps people find skills they can use between sessions, such as simple mindfulness practices or behaviour experiments to test out new ways of coping. Over time the work is shaped by the person’s priorities and pace.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking small committed steps towards them while allowing difficult thoughts to exist. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers tasks and experiments to test new ways of responding to problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Belinda will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That might mean mixing ACT ideas with CBT exercises and mindful practices so the plan suits the individual.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a UK-based counsellor from other countries, subject to scheduling and any regional considerations.
