About Belinda
Belinda Gray is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing anxiety, stress and phobias. She holds BACP accreditation, and she draws on 14 years of experience supporting people through depression, addiction and relationship issues. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people feel able to talk about difficult things.
In sessions she builds a calm atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Background and approach
She works with clients to set clear, manageable steps. That can include new ways of thinking, simple behaviour changes and breathing or mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. Belinda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas.
She explains techniques plainly and practices them together with the client so skills are easy to use between sessions. Many clients come for help with grief, sleep problems, eating concerns or trouble concentrating. Her approach also supports people dealing with longer-term difficulties such as bipolar mood patterns, ADHD and the effects of past trauma.
She pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape current reactions and coping styles. Sessions aim to increase everyday functioning and reduce distress in practical ways. Belinda offers online sessions across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit their schedule.
Therapeutic approaches delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on the values and actions that matter. It is often useful for anxiety, phobias and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns. It can help with stress, sleep problems, panic and many phobia-related reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Belinda will work collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs and preferences. She introduces methods gently and adjusts them as the work progresses so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing reflection or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different lifestyles while keeping the focus on progress and skills that transfer into everyday life.
