About Gurpreet
Gurpreet Gill is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress or trauma. Parents and carers reading this can expect a calm presence and practical conversation about what’s worrying them now.
She focuses on clear, short-term goals and usable skills. Sessions often look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going, then test small changes to see what helps.
Background and approach
Gurpreet draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. Attachment ideas also shape her work. That means looking at how early relationships affect current patterns, such as trust, fear of abandonment, or difficulty with closeness.
She uses this to help people understand recurring reactions and to practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Gurpreet also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centred counselling. This brings a focus on emotion regulation, building coping skills, and offering a non-judgemental listening space.
Practical steps and emotion-management tools are woven into conversations rather than presented as technical exercises. Her background includes supporting people with a wide range of concerns such as anger, bipolar symptoms, eating and substance difficulties, dissociation, family of origin issues and relationship breakdown.
Therapy is shaped around each person’s goals and pace, and she works with clients to build skills they can use outside sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-guided actions instead of being ruled by feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and repetitive worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift patterns that keep problems going. That approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression and mood swings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made so the work fits your needs.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone calls can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, while live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility and let people keep practising skills between meetings.
