About Lucy
Lucy Gray is an NCPS counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about their experiences and feel heard. Her way of working is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and small steps forward.
Lucy uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s needs at the heart of each session. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. Her sessions are often creative and interactive. She might suggest writing, imagery, or simple exercises to make sense of emotions.
Mindfulness tools are used to help with calm, sleep and managing strong feelings. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Lucy has three years of clinical experience and works with neurodivergent adults and university students among others, focusing on burnout, communication, family relationships and self-esteem.
She also supports people with grief, trauma, anger, chronic health issues and career stress. Practice sessions are offered in a range of online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Lucy is based in the United Kingdom and uses her NCPS credential as part of her professional identity.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will talk with people about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions fit the person rather than forcing a single technique.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text sessions suit people who prefer typing to talking or who want brief, flexible support during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and family commitments, while allowing therapists to use the same techniques they would in person.
