About Gill
Gill Ryan is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to support people through hard times. She welcomes straightforward conversations and focuses on what each person brings to sessions.

She has worked with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. Gill also helps with practical problems such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, separation and blended family pressures.
Background and approach
She can talk through concerns about body image, eating and money stress as well. In sessions Gill listens without judgement and follows the person's pace. She encourages people to notice their strengths and to try out small steps between meetings.
Therapy sessions are collaborative - the client leads and Gill offers reflective questions and gentle guidance. Her style is plain and direct. Sessions tend to concentrate on what is happening now and what can be changed next.
People leave with clearer choices and small, realistic actions to try in day-to-day life. Gill is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She works online using a mix of formats to fit different needs and schedules.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book sessions according to her availability.

Client-centred support delivered online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what they hear, and helps the person explore feelings and choices without pressure. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and healing after abuse.Gill uses this collaborative way of working to help people identify what matters to them and to decide on next steps. She will discuss different ways of working and help decide which fit best with the person's goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together over the first few sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Text and live chat suit people who prefer written reflection or need to fit therapy around a busy day. These options make it simpler to schedule appointments and keep continuity when life is complicated.
