About Gillian

Gillian Hartley is a UK-licensed therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating and body-image concerns, anger, low self-esteem and other life changes. She works with a broad range of concerns including communication and family problems, fertility and bereavement-related issues, infidelity and the dynamics of narcissistic relationships, always approaching each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Gillian combines evidence-informed approaches and a personalised way of working, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to fit the specific needs and goals of each client. She holds the credentials BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS, which is a recognised professional counselling credential. These reflect her commitment to professional standards and ongoing clinical development.

Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing often requires courage, and Gillian aims to provide steady, empathetic support throughout that process. She helps clients clarify priorities, develop practical coping strategies and work toward a more fulfilling and balanced life while respecting each person s pace and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Gillian Hartley works from a blend of practical, person-focused therapies tailored to each client s needs. Client-Centered Therapy places the client s experience at the heart of the work, emphasising empathy and collaboration to help people explore strengths, values and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and achievable goals, helping clients build on what is already working and move toward concrete change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adapt the plan as the work unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people managing busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic constraints. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats and find a way of working that fits their life while receiving support from registered professionals and therapists.
