About Gill

Gill is non-binary and practises in the United Kingdom, working with both UK and international clients. They hold BACP accreditation which appears as BACP in this profile.
Gill keeps sessions practical and conversational. They aim to create a calm space where people can say what is on their mind and try out different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Conversations can focus on immediate worries like panic or sleep problems, or on longer standing issues such as trauma, grief or relationship patterns. Their background includes experience with a wide range of concerns. Gill has supported people with addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, eating and body image difficulties, and experiences of trauma or abuse.
They also work with identity questions, intimacy, sexuality and the effects of shame or isolation. Gill draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, while client-centred methods keep the pace guided by the person in the room. Internal Family Systems ideas are used when helpful to explore different parts of a person’s inner life.
Sessions are offered in several online formats to fit different needs. Gill aims to help people find realistic steps forward, whether that is short-term coping strategies or deeper, ongoing work.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Gill commonly uses client-centred work which focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the session. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to be heard and to make choices at their own pace.They also draw on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns and how past experiences affect present relationships. This can be useful for someone who wants to understand long-term habits or recurring problems. Internal Family Systems is another approach Gill uses to help people identify and work with different 'parts' of themselves, which can help with internal conflict, anxiety and self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gill will talk with the client about aims and preferences and will adapt the style over time. That way therapy stays collaborative and tailored to the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
