Hello my name is Fiona Gray
I am a trauma-informed Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor.
I work with adult individuals and couples experiencing emotional pain and distress due to trauma, violence, anxiety, depression, shame, relationship conflict, compulsive behaviours and attachment issues.
I have an MA in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester.
I worked for several years in an
NHS Talking Therapy Service as a Clinical Counsellor.
I receive private referrals from both large and small businesses to work with their staff, and I accept self-referrals.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental and anti-discriminatory service to people of all cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and abilities. My work is LGBTQ+ and non-binary affirming.
I am a specialist neurodivergent-affirming practitioner, working with ADHD and Autistic couples and individuals, with and without a formal diagnosis.
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 therapist is to help people understand how their mind processes trauma and complex emotions. Help them access their inner resources of insight and resilience, and become aware of their conflicting parts and patterns that are constantly running in the background of their minds so they can live life with clarity, excitement and choice.
