My name is Poppy Gray. If you're going through a stretch where everything feels dimmer than it should, or if you've lost someone and the grief won't loosen its grip, those are exactly the conversations I'm here for.
I focus on people who are carrying a deep sadness that won't shift, whether that's connected to loss, to low self-worth, or to experiences from earlier in life that still sting. Things like being treated badly as a child, being made to feel small, or never quite learning how to value yourself. Those marks don't disappear on their own, but they can become easier to live with, and that matters more than people realise.
My approach is straightforward: I listen without judging, and I take what you tell me seriously. From there, we work together. I'll help you spot what's keeping you stuck, and we'll build practical strategies to move you forward. That might mean looking at the beliefs you hold about yourself and testing whether they're actually true. More often than not, they're not.
I'm also comfortable talking about feeling overwhelmed or struggling to get through the day, about not feeling good enough, and about the kind of guilt or shame that sits on your chest. These are things many people carry quietly, and it can be a relief to finally say them out loud to someone who gets it.
You don't need to arrive with everything neatly explained. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong or have the right words for it. That's what our sessions are for. We'll sort through it together, at whatever pace suits you, and I'll bring patience and care every step of the way.
Reaching out is one of the bravest things you can do.
Take care,
Poppy Gray
