About Gayle

Gayle Shingler is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety. She meets each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Gayle aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.

Gayle uses a person-centred way of working. That means conversations start with what matters to the client and are shaped around their needs. She will add other evidence-based techniques when they suit the situation, rather than using a fixed formula.

Background and approach

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and the NCPS credential is part of her professional profile. Gayle has worked a lot with teenagers and young adults, and she has substantial experience in matters linked to domestic abuse.

In sessions Gayle helps people talk through trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and difficulties with relationships and family roles. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, bipolar challenges, ADHD and other life changes. Gayle tailors conversations and practical steps to each person.

That might include setting short-term goals, practising coping skills, or thinking differently about stressful situations. She aims to help people build small, realistic changes that fit their life. People can expect straightforward language and a calm tone.

Gayle describes the work as collaborative - she listens first, then helps plan what comes next.

How Gayle brings person-centred care online

Gayle combines a person-centred approach with straightforward, evidence-based techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping clients set their own goals; it is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also draws on practical therapeutic techniques to teach coping skills, manage stress reactions and address patterns that maintain problems, which can help with trauma, addictions and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gayle will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process makes sure techniques are realistic and fit the client's everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer written dialogue or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around school, work or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
