Lucy Gray , NCPS

Lucy Gray is an NCPS-accredited integrative psychotherapist based in Sheffield, United Kingdom. She offers a trauma-informed, person-centred approach that brings together a range of therapeutic tools to meet each person's needs. Lucy often integrates elements of solution-focused therapy and coaching, and she frequently uses imagery, mindfulness, and parts work to help clients explore their experiences and build greater self-understanding. NCPS accreditation indicates recognised professional training and standards, which Lucy brings to her clinical practice.

Creative and curious by nature, Lucy draws on the natural environment as a resource in therapy and may suggest using pen and paper or everyday natural objects to help make thoughts and feelings more tangible. Her style prioritises listening and being led by what the client needs, with the aim of offering validation, practical strategies, and a pathway to move forward authentically.

Lucy has particular experience working with university students and neurodivergent adults, addressing issues such as burnout, communication difficulties, family relationships, and self-esteem. She is currently accepting clients and offers sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, responding to messages as soon as she is able within those days.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Lucy draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current ways of relating. This approach can help with issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and relationship patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on providing an empathic, accepting environment so clients can lead exploration of their own goals and values—useful for building self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key element in her work, offering practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors often linked to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lucy works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as understanding develops. This shared decision-making helps ensure the therapy fits each person's unique situation.

Online therapy with Lucy can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue work during busy or transitional periods, while supporting consistent progress through regular sessions and ongoing contact as needed.
