Lucy Gray offers help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and managing major life changes. She supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger and career worries. She also addresses compassion fatigue and a range of related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress and chronic illness.

Lucy uses a person-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on what the client needs and the conversation is led by them.

Background and approach

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioural tools are used when practical steps and skill-building are helpful. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, imagery and simple creative tasks such as pen-and-paper work or using natural objects.

These techniques are used to make feelings easier to name and to see different parts of a person’s experience. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused moves are brought in to clarify goals and encourage small, realistic changes. Lucy has three years' experience and holds NCPS.

She practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Her style is curious and down-to-earth, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to everyday life. People can expect a calm, listening presence and work that is shaped by their priorities.

The therapist encourages exploring problems at a comfortable pace and building skills that can be used between sessions.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps when trust, rejection or abandonment feel central to a problem and can guide safer, more connected ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's priorities at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judging and follows what matters most, helping people find their own solutions and build confidence.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits through small, actionable changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining gentle listening with practical CBT tasks or adding mindfulness exercises when helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting and let the therapist use visual tools. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and support that fits around work or study. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and try different formats to see what works best.
