Are you struggling with moments of anxiety or going through a hard time you cannot seem to shake off? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or numb? Life can be challenging at times, as though nothing will feel right again. Sometimes, it can feel as though life 'should feel good' and you cannot understand why you feel so low. It can feel isolating and lonely to not be able to express to your family and friends how you feel - perhaps this has made you feel 'invisible'. Or others' needs have come first for so long that you no longer are in touch with what you need for yourself and find it hard to truly feel connected with others.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside — but internally, it feels overwhelming or exhausting.
Maybe your thoughts won’t switch off, or relationships leave you feeling confused or drained. You may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, low mood, or the impact of past or traumatic experiences, where nothing you try seems to change things for long.
Together, we can begin to make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward.

I work with individuals and couples, specialising in relationship counselling, sex therapy and sex addiction & compulsivity therapy. As a relationship counsellor, I support couples with various complex issues, including dealing with the impact of porn addiction on their relationship. Having a partner with porn and/or sex compulsivity can be devastating. I support partners trying to come to terms with the discovery and help them navigate the relationship fall-out.

I work with people bringing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, difficulties around weight, size and eating, loss and grief, and relationship problems. You may feel stuck and not know how to move forward in your life or you may be aware of repeating unhelpful patterns in relationships. Together we can explore your difficulties and look for ways forward.

At the heart of my approach is a non-judgemental curiosity about your experience, both inside and outside the therapy room. Together, we can explore your inner world, including the parts that are difficult to face. My role is to help this process unfold at a pace that feels right for you. While this work can be challenging, it can also meaningfully open up new ways of relating to yourself and others.

It can be overwhelming searching for the right counsellor – someone who feels like a good fit and a safe person to talk to. You may have stopped and started this process a few times already, and it’s okay if you’re feeling unsure about what you need right now. If you’re looking for a space to make sense of things and feel more at ease, you’re in the right place. I work in a warm, grounded way, bringing curiosity, care and thoughtful reflection as we explore your experiences. I offer an approach that fosters understanding and gentle exploration, supporting you to make sense of your experiences and allowing change to unfold naturally.

Sometimes we find ourselves struggling with issues that are too difficult or confusing to talk about with people we know. At these times, talking confidentially to someone and really feeling heard can be the first step towards changes that we cannot make alone. I offer a safe and supportive space, working alongside you to explore your concerns and feelings at your pace. I believe that being seen and accepted within a genuine, therapeutic relationship can be transformative, enabling a deeper understanding and self-acceptance to move forward.

I’d like to begin by welcoming you and acknowledging the step it takes to begin therapy, especially if you have spent much of your life feeling “not good enough,” “too much,” or as though you don’t quite belong. I am a qualified Counsellor working primarily with anxiety and trauma, and I often support people who carry deep-rooted feelings of shame, inadequacy, or self-doubt that began in early life. When we grow up in environments where our emotional needs are not consistently met, we can internalise painful messages that continue to shape how we relate to ourselves and others in adulthood.

Life can feel challenging, and it’s not always easy to make sense of what you’re going through. When things become confusing, heavy, or simply too much to manage on your own, counselling offers a steady place to pause and get support. I provide a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly and without judgement. You’re welcome to bring whatever is on your mind — nothing is too small or too complex. I have the training, capability, and life experience to work with a wide range of concerns, and I’ve supported all ages of adults and young people in both primary and secondary school and early twenties too.

If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP) you've probably spent years trying to keep up with a pace that wasn't designed for you. Pushing past your limits, ignoring your body's signals, forcing yourself through environments that leave you depleted and chronically stressed. Maybe you've developed chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, or exhaustion that no amount of rest or treatments seem to touch.
If you want to learn to regulate your highly sensitive nervous system, heal from trauma patterns, break free from chronic stress and overwhelm, to create a sustainable and deeply meaningful life, you're in the right place.

Many of my clients appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, low, or stuck underneath. They may struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Often these patterns developed in response to difficult or overwhelming experiences. I help them understand why they feel this way, make sense of their patterns, and begin to shift them so they can feel more confident, grounded, and in control.

I believe mental health is just as important as physical health, the two are intricately bound together. In a non-judgemental, warm and supportive environment, I will help you to understand where the problems you are experiencing have arisen. We will work out why they have become so problematic and hard to deal with. I will help you to find strategies to cope better and tools to help you unpick patterns and to move on in your life, feel stronger and more content. As with any problem, the sooner it is acknowledged, the sooner you can begin your recovery. This is true of emotional and physical issues, as well as practical.

Hello, my name is Rachel Gray, and I would be delighted to offer you therapeutic support. I offer both short and long term therapy for adults, young people, and children in central Edinburgh. It can feel daunting when you make the decision to find a counsellor; to acknowledge, even just to yourself, that you may need some support to work through a current or historical difficulty. Having 4 teenagers myself, I understand as a parent how hard it can be navigating the difficulties children and teenagers face. With younger people, I tend to work more creatively as talking therapy can be quite scary on its own for younger clients.
