Counselling and psychotherapy can help you explore, identify, and change your response to stressful life events. They can also help you widen your perspective and understanding of your life and the situation you find yourself in. Therapy can help you develop self-compassion, self-confidence, and self-acceptance. It can also help you clarify the life you want to live and give you the confidence to approach obstacles that may get in the way.
Therapy can help you:
- Make sense of the past.
- Leave the past in the past.
- Process uncomfortable feelings such as grief, anger, guilt and shame.
- Transform your attachment style and enjoy healthier and happier relationships.
- Like yourself more.

Hello my name is Fiona Gray
I am a Clinical Counsellor, Neuroscience based Psychotherapist and Counselling Supervisor.
I work with a wide range of people experiencing emotional trauma, relationship issues, depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety.
I am a specialist Practitioner in
Adult Autism/ADHD and Mental Health
Childhood Trauma and Relationship Attachment Difficulties
I have worked for several years in an
NHS Talking Therapy Service as a Clinical Counsellor.
I receive private referrals from large and small businesses to work with their staff and accept self-referrals.
I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, anti-discriminatory service to all, including those who are neurodivergent or suspect they may be.
I provide short and long-term Counselling and Supervision both online and in person.
My therapy room is based in Manchester City Centre.
My background
My background is in the Performing Arts and Education. I lectured in Contemporary Dance for several years and went on to manage a community arts organisation based in Greater Manchester. I became a high school dance teacher and helped several schools achieve Performing Arts College status. After working through my own adverse childhood experiences and enjoying supporting students and artists at the start of their professional careers, a mid-life career change from teacher to counsellor was a natural progression for me.
Lifelong learning, creativity, and personal development have always been important to me. My aim as a Clinical Counsellor is to help people access their innate resources and become aware of their repetitive negative thoughts, which are constantly running in the background of their minds, so they can live life with clarity and choice.
