About Belinda

Belinda Gray is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with calm, steady support. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people handle stress, anxiety and sleep problems. Belinda holds BACP and brings 14 years of experience to her work.

She creates a warm space where people can talk about difficult things without feeling judged. Sessions focus on everyday problems like low mood, grief, addictions, and changes at work or home. She also helps people facing relationship strain, intimacy worries and challenges around parenting.

Belinda uses simple, hands-on ways to make coping easier. That can mean noticing thoughts without getting overwhelmed, setting small goals, or practising breathing and mindfulness exercises. She adapts techniques to each person rather than using a fixed script.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in the United Kingdom. Over the years she has supported people through trauma, mood swings such as bipolar, attention difficulties and eating concerns. This experience informs her practical approach to sleep and rest issues as well.

Belinda aims to work at a pace the client chooses. Early sessions often focus on what feels most urgent - sleep, panic, or a recent loss - and then move on to longer term goals. She encourages simple routines and skills that fit into everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Belinda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and then focus on what matters most to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for people who struggle with sleep because it teaches flexible ways of responding to thoughts and feelings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to break the link between upsetting thoughts, unhelpful behaviours and poor sleep. CBT techniques can include simple behavioural changes, planning small experiments and adjusting routines that affect rest and wakefulness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Belinda will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each person's goals, preferences and day-to-day reality in a collaborative way.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules change. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people choose online sessions because they reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins around work or parenting, and make it easier to try brief practical exercises between meetings.
