About Gill

Gill Brown is a counsellor with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes. She works with issues such as grief, addiction, ADHD and self-esteem. She welcomes conversations about intimacy, parenting strains, career worries and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are intended to be a space to speak honestly and feel heard without judgement. Gill creates a calm, open atmosphere to encourage honest reflection.

Background and approach

She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and what keeps them stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as understanding deeper emotional responses. The aim is to help people make changes they find meaningful and manageable.

Her approach draws on several psychological frameworks. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and adjust thinking and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas help look at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Client-centred work keeps the person’s experience at the heart of the session. Gill has worked in the United Kingdom across a range of settings over two decades. She has particular experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and other crime-related trauma.

That background informs how she tailors support to sensitive and complex situations. People can expect a thoughtful, steady style that balances short-term coping skills with deeper exploration. Gill aims to empower clients to make choices that fit their values and life circumstances.

Ways of working Gill names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Gill uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction even when hard thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and practical problems such as sleep or anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how these affect current connections and emotional reactions; it can help with relationship issues and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how things are going, then suggest a way forward. This is a collaborative process and methods can be blended to suit the person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps build trust. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a short check-in. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or for people who prefer not to use audio or video.
