Verity Gray

Do you feel stuck in unhelpful patterns? Do you feel exhausted, like you’re constantly swimming against the current? Maybe your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues can be difficult, and you feel misunderstood and isolated.

Sometimes we aren’t always aware of the reasons that are making us feel low. You might be holding onto anger, anxiety, shame, sadness, without the support to help navigate these feelings and create the changes you need. As a creative psychotherapist who works with clients who have these experiences, I am here to support you in this process. I aim to provide a safe, inclusive, neuro-affirming environment to explore your emotions and to help you make sense of them.

I use conversation and creativity to help my clients unlock thoughts and feelings that might otherwise feel inaccessible, or too difficult to verbally express. A client might express themselves using words in talking therapy, and/or may wish to explore their thoughts through any combination of writing, art, music, and other creative expressions. I work together with a client, accommodating their needs and preferences, to find new ways of processing feelings and self-reflecting. Clients do not need to consider themselves a ‘creative person’ to have therapy with me. The use of creativity remains optional, adaptable, and client-led, so that a client is able to express themselves in their own time, in ways that feel comfortable. I understand that it can feel difficult to trust people with your thoughts and vulnerabilities, and it is my job to meet you where you are. 

I have a lot of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals. In my therapy practice, my intention is to ensure you do not feel limited by neuro-normative expectations of ‘being’ in therapy and instead feel able to express yourself, and reflect on your feelings in creative and unique ways that feel right to you.

My clients tell me that I help them create a sense of safety in themselves and their identity. Being in the process of therapy can help you gain understanding for why you feel the way you feel. Through this process, you learn to develop self-compassion, self-acceptance and the confidence to overcome challenges and make authentic choices in your life. Feeling heard and understood can be the most important steps towards meaningful and lasting change, and I am here to help you find your way.
