About Gayle
Gayle Wilde is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and questions about sexuality. She also offers support around relationship concerns, coping with life changes and LGBT-related matters. Her approach is calm and non-judgemental, and she aims to move at each person’s pace.
With seven years of experience Gayle draws on practical listening and problem-solving. She works from the view that people know their own stories, and she helps them use their strengths to tackle what feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and what a person wants to change. Gayle uses several therapeutic styles to meet different needs. She integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
She also uses client-centred methods that keep conversations grounded in the person’s experience. Mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy tools are offered when they suit someone’s goals, for example to reduce anxiety or improve emotional regulation. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to understand recurring feelings and behaviours that cause distress.
Gayle has worked with people affected by suicide, including intervention and prevention, and with grief related to suicide. She aims to respond to messages promptly on the days she works and to support people through sensitive material at a careful pace.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and feelings. It helps people who repeatedly feel abandoned, struggle with trust, or find themselves in recurring relationship patterns.Client-centred therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s experience. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said and helps the person build confidence to make changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gayle will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and suggest which methods to try. The decision about what feels helpful is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and avoiding travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
