About Gill

Gill Brown is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and changes in life. Gill also supports people struggling with addictions, grief, self-esteem and issues around intimacy and parenting.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns in their behaviour and find small, practical steps forward. Gill describes working at a deeper level to understand repeated patterns and the feelings that sit under them.

Her approach draws on several well-known therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centred ways of working, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These methods are used to help with mood, anxiety, coping skills and relationship concerns.

Gill holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She has particular experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and crime-related issues alongside more common concerns such as depression and anxiety.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that works with the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand how they connect and react in close relationships. This can help with relationship strain and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their problems, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adapt them as needed over time.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins at predictable times. Some formats require lower bandwidth and work well for shorter check-ins, while others suit a longer, more visual conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on which arrangement may work best for your situation.
