About Belinda
Belinda Gray is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also supports people facing grief, low self‑esteem, sleep and eating problems, and life changes such as career shifts or parenting challenges.
Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She uses conversational therapy to help people notice patterns, make practical decisions, and try new ways of responding to old problems.
Belinda often draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test out different behaviours. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches to help people identify values and take steps that matter to them. Attachment‑based ideas are used when relationship patterns and intimacy issues are central concerns.
People who come to her for codependency, abandonment or communication problems are helped to name the patterns that keep repeating. She works with those coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, or anger to build clearer routines and manageable strategies. Work around addictions and trauma includes short practical steps alongside reflection on how past events shape current choices.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Belinda asks straightforward questions, helps set small goals, and reviews progress each week. For anyone unsure how to begin, she guides through the initial steps and what to expect from early sessions.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values rather than getting stuck in fighting unwanted thoughts. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and issues like codependency by shifting focus from control to meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful beliefs and build new routines for mood, sleep and coping with cravings or anger.
Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current intimacy and communication. This can be useful for people who keep putting others first or who struggle with trust and closeness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your situation, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You can feed back what helps and what does not, and the plan can be adjusted as work progresses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before you book, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, allow quieter check‑ins, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use conversational sessions that focus on skills practice, goal setting and weekly review to make progress within everyday routines.
