Background and approach
Her approach is calm and direct, with an emphasis on emotional connection and present experience. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift painful emotional patterns.

Mindfulness and existential ideas appear where they help people find meaning and steady attention.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Gillian combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work to handle emotional and practical problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying painful emotional patterns and creating new, healthier ways of responding to feelings; it is useful for reducing distress tied to attachment and abandonment wounds. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting pulled into them and choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, eating concerns and life transitions. Client-centred therapy offers a non-judgemental, empathic space where people can be heard and start to make sense of their experience.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit and adjust the plan over time so it meets practical needs as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can work when you need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. This range makes it possible to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
