Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and calm, and she focuses on what matters most to each person. She uses a blend of approaches to suit different needs. That can mean working on values and committed action, reflecting on feelings in the moment, or using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm.
She explains each step and adapts plans as therapy progresses. Gillian has a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy qualification, noted as BACP, and she brings a decade of practice to sessions. Her background includes supporting people with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and addiction issues among other areas.
When someone starts with Gillian they complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist, then arrange sessions that fit their schedule. Fees are handled via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and she offers video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
How Gillian’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that get in the way of living the life someone wants. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a non-judgemental, listening relationship where the person sets the pace and topics. This helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gillian will talk with each person about their needs and goals and try different ways of working until something fits. That collaborative process helps tailor practical steps and the pace of therapy.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflection and schedules that make regular live sessions hard to keep. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and guidance to these formats so therapy stays useful and manageable.
