Gillian Robins, BACP

Gillian Robins is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, resolve family conflicts, and rebuild motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also draws on both personal and professional experience supporting clients with limerence, understanding how confusing, consuming, and painful that experience can be.

Her practice is trauma-informed and influenced by the work of Dr Gabor Maté, with particular attention to how early experiences can shape emotional responses and long-standing patterns. Gillian believes that developing an understanding of the "why" behind habitual behaviours and feelings creates space for meaningful change.

She works collaboratively with clients to establish an open, compassionate environment where thoughts and emotions can be explored without fear of judgment. Gillian honours the courage it takes to begin therapy and recognises that reaching out is an important first step on the path toward greater wellbeing.

Trauma-informed care and evidence-based approaches online

Gillian uses a trauma-informed way of working that pays attention to how past experiences influence present feelings and patterns. This approach helps people make sense of reactions linked to early life events and supports healing from stress, trauma, and relational difficulties.

She also integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and reflective work to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These methods can support issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, addictions, and challenges with relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gillian works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Gillian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access support from different locations and schedules. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments while receiving ongoing care from a registered professional.
