About Gill
Gill Brown is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief and many everyday pressures. She also helps with issues such as parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is warm and direct. She aims to build an open space where clients can talk without fear of judgment.
Background and approach
Gill encourages honest reflection and helps people recognise patterns that keep causing pain. She emphasises small, practical steps as well as deeper personal work. Gill draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close relationships and personal wellbeing.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and to understand how early bonds affect present behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ideas inform practical skills work and how sessions are paced.
Her background includes long experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and other serious crimes, along with trauma, relationship breakdown and depression. Over two decades she has worked with many complex presentations and layered problems, helping clients make sense of repeating patterns. Gill works with individual adults and accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand how emotions shape their close relationships and personal reactions. It is useful when patterns of hurt or disconnection keep repeating and clients want clearer emotional awareness and new ways of relating.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on spotting what truly matters to you and taking committed steps towards those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions where action matters more than control.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current behaviour and relationships. It can help people understand repeating patterns rooted in attachment needs and develop different ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then mix methods to suit the person in front of her. Clients are encouraged to try different ways of working and to feed back what helps and what does not.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to attend therapy from different time zones and busy lives, while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
