About Lucy
Lucy Gray is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice and an NCPS credential. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue.
Her manner is down-to-earth and person-centred. Sessions are led by the person seeking support rather than by a fixed agenda.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and adapts techniques to each situation so people feel understood and can make changes that fit their lives. Lucy draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness to calm the body and mind.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want practical steps forward. She often invites simple, hands-on exercises such as drawing, imagery or using everyday objects to clarify feelings. This practical creativity is offered alongside talking and reflection so people have different ways to make sense of their experience.
Lucy has particular experience supporting university students and autistic or neurodivergent adults with burnout, communication, family relationships and self-esteem. Her work aims to help people build small, steady changes that add up to feeling more capable and in control.

Online support
Client-centred counselling places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without imposing solutions and follows the person's lead to explore feelings, values and what feels important. This approach supports people who want a respectful, exploratory space to make sense of things.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties because it gives clear strategies people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions via video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel, which is useful for longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection or ongoing support between calls. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around study, work and family life.
