About Gillian
Gillian Trueman is a counsellor who uses a blend of approaches to help people manage anxiety and stress. She draws on several therapy styles to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Gillian is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She completed a Master of Science in Pluralistic Counselling at Abertay University. Gillian has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP membership. That background shapes a flexible way of working rather than a single narrow method.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. She helps people talk through relationship difficulties, grief, eating and anger issues, and family-related concerns. She also supports people facing fertility struggles, intimacy challenges such as infidelity, isolation and life-purpose questions.
Trauma and its effects are part of her practice. Gillian offers trauma-focused work alongside therapies that look at thoughts, behaviour and attachment patterns. She is neurodiversity friendly and has experience with process addictions, phobias, postpartum depression and self-harm thoughts.
Her style is collaborative and person-centred. She aims to find what helps each client most, combining different techniques to suit personal goals and preferences.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and finding clarity about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly applied to anxiety, phobias and mood-related patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust. It can help people understand relationship issues, loneliness and repeated behavioural patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan matches changing needs over time. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are like face-to-face talks and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions and for people who prefer writing. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver all these formats, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments. Online options let people access consistent care without travelling to appointments.Questions people ask
