Sara Gray

Hi there! I’m Sara, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and systemic practitioner. I offer 1:1 therapy, couples and family sessions, and life consultancy sessions. My approach is warm, curious, and creative, helping you explore what’s on your mind, understand patterns, and find clarity in decisions or challenges. Sessions are tailored to you, in person or online, and focus on supporting insight, connection, and practical next steps to move forward with confidence.

I work with adults on trauma, loss, shame, grief, identity, and belonging, including adoption-related experiences. Using an integrative, relational, and systemic approach, I combine psychodynamic, person-centred, body-based, and creative methods to explore patterns, relationships, and context, fostering insight, clarity, and resilience

If life feels overwhelming, stuck, or confusing, I offer a warm, safe space to explore what’s weighing on you. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, reflect on relationships, and use creative, relational, and systemic approaches to help you gain clarity, insight, and a sense of direction

1:1 Counselling

Your first counselling session is a gentle starting point. We’ll talk about what’s brought you, what you’re hoping for, and how therapy with me works. We’ll cover boundaries, confidentiality, risk where relevant, and agree practical details such as session length, frequency, fees, and expectations. There’s no pressure to go deep straight away – this session is about creating safety, clarity, and a shared way of working.

Couples & Family Work

The first relational session focuses on understanding the system as a whole. We’ll explore what’s bringing you together, how each person experiences the difficulty, and what you’d like to be different. I’ll outline how systemic sessions work, including shared agreements, confidentiality, and how we manage differing needs or perspectives. We’ll also agree structure, frequency, and practical arrangements for the work.

Life Consultancy (Non-Therapeutic)

Life consultancy is not therapy. The first session is more focused and practical, helping us clarify your goals, decisions, or transitions. We’ll look at context, patterns, and options, and agree how we’ll work together in a structured, time-limited way. There is no therapeutic assessment or risk work, and sessions are framed around reflection, strategy, and forward movement rather than emotional processing.

Across all services, the first session is collaborative, transparent, and shaped around what feels most useful for you.
