I'm very happy with my sessions with Gillian. I've had therapy before, and I feel like these five weeks have been very transforming for me. Gillian truly wants to help; she's invested, goes out of her way to help someone, and she's also flexible. I couldn't recommend enough! Thank you very much, and I hope we get to speak in the future too.

More about Gillian
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an experienced counsellor with ten years working for the NHS and in private practice. I have witnessed the power of counselling and how it can help a person find their own power and sense of 'self'. I have experience in helping clients manage stress and anxious thoughts. I work with family conflicts and relationships including poor parent child relationships. I have significant experience of coping with grief and loss, specifically sudden death and suicide. I also work with depression and can help a person move away from past ways of thinking. Every person is individual with a unique life journey and counselling helps you to know yourself better, your themes, the origins of how you see yourself and how to move forward in life. We can work together with past, present and future themes. I believe every person deserves respect and understanding. I will be the very best I can for every person I meet for counselling. It can be difficult taking the initial steps to contact a counsellor so well done for having the courage to do so.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
