Rachel Gray

Hello, my name is Rachel Gray, and 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. We can draw, play and work in a way that may feel safer for them initially. 

Prior to working as a therapist, I worked for over 20 year with adults and children experiencing a wide range of difficulties in various settings. 

At our first session, we can talk about what has brought you to seek counselling, and what you would like support with. I will discuss confidentiality with you, and we can explore together how you feel counselling would work best for you with regards to days and times.

I am trained to offer psychodynamic/analytic therapy, whilst offering the core conditions of personal centred therapy, which are, empathy, genuineness, and a non judgemental attitude. I offer a warm, yet professional space to explore issues you would like support with.

My office is located on Princess Street which is easily accessible by bus, tram, train, bicycle or on foot. The building is completely accessible. 

Fees for individual therapy are £60 per hour

Fees for student counsellors are £50 per hour
