About Belinda
Counsellor Belinda Gray is a BACP member with 14 years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and trauma-related concerns.
Belinda uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage difficult feelings and make changes. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and action, and client-centred listening to help people feel heard. Mindfulness techniques are used where they suit the person’s goals.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She aims to help people talk through what is most worrying, try out small changes and notice what helps day to day. Plans and priorities are reviewed so work stays focused and relevant.
Belinda has worked with people facing grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain, career pressures and long-term conditions such as bipolar and neurodiverse presentations. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, abandonment and communication problems.
She accepts people from outside the UK as well as within the country. Prospective clients are asked to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Belinda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking action in line with those values, which can help with motivation and coping. CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviours and helps people try practical steps to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.She also draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred work means listening closely and following what the client finds most important. Attachment-based elements are used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current difficulties. Together these approaches give a range of ways to tackle problems and make changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree what to try first, then adapt methods to fit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process during the early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options when you book. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera if someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people attend more consistently.
