About Gillian
Gillian aims to create an open and non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She approaches therapy with attentive listening and a caring manner, helping clients explore fears and concerns while building tools to live in a way that feels more authentic and fulfilling. Her style emphasises support and empowerment as people take the often-difficult first steps toward change.
Before training as a therapist, Gillian travelled extensively and lived overseas, primarily in North America, and brings additional life experience from work in the diplomatic service, the financial industry, and as a special education teacher. She draws on that background alongside her therapeutic training to relate to a wide range of life circumstances. Central to her practice is the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is a key part of healing, and she strives to be a person of safety and steadiness as clients work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support
Gillian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present - ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach in her work, prioritising empathic listening and the client's own capacity for growth to support self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gillian collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and effective for the individual.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Gillian's online practice is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support ongoing care across locations, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
