About Gill
Gill Brown offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief and struggles with intimacy. She also helps with life transitions, addiction-related concerns, sleep and eating issues, anger, low self-esteem and career stress. Gill accepts clients across the UK and internationally and works in English.
Gill brings 20 years of professional experience to her work as a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Background and approach
She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Gill encourages open conversation and helps people say what feels hard to talk about. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. Gill pays attention to repeated patterns that can cause pain or keep problems going.
She supports exploration of those patterns at a gentle pace. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps as well as understanding deeper emotional material. People can expect a non-judgemental space to talk and to set realistic goals together.
Gill aims to empower clients to make choices that suit their lives. The process is collaborative, with practical tools alongside reflective work.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process, so methods can be adjusted as understanding grows and different issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video helps keep a face-to-face feel when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into busy days. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel while still accessing professional support from registered or accredited professionals.
