PSYCHOLOGIST BRIDIE GRAY

I believe people are often more skilled and capable than they realize. Sometimes, all it takes is a little space to be heard and someone to believe in you to create the change you were always capable of. Relationships are one of the most powerful forces in our lives—changing how we interact with each other changes how we think and feel about ourselves and what we do. My aim is to foster change through the therapeutic relationship and help create warm, loving spaces within other relationships that support growth, resilience, and connection. My work focuses on strengthening relationships and fostering connections because I believe relationships are at the heart of our overall wellbeing. The way that I see and understand problems is through an ecological lens, meaning that I look to a person's relationships with their families, schools, workplaces, communities, societies, identities and cultures to make sense of their individual functioning.

 My lens has been informed by approaches like Structural Family Therapy, Bowen Family Systems, the Power Threat Meaning Framework, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Schema Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and attachment-based therapy. Alongside these relational approaches, I integrate skills-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT to offer practical strategies for navigating challenges and encouraging personal growth.

I provide:

• Family-focused therapy across the lifespan
• Individual counselling for adults
• Couples therapy
• Family therapy
