About Gill
Gill Brown is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction and LGBT-related concerns. She helps people talk through painful experiences and recognise patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Gill aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She encourages clear goals and small steps so clients can try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what feels most urgent for the person in the room. Her practice includes attention to unconscious patterns that lead to repeated behaviours. She has a background in psychoanalytic work and uses that to help people see and change repeating cycles.
This can be helpful for people facing attachment or abandonment issues, or for those coping with trauma histories. Gill draws on a range of therapeutic methods to suit different needs. She uses practical strategies to manage anxiety and mood, and also explores emotional patterns when deeper change is needed.
Her approach mixes listening, reflection and workable tools tailored to each person. People meet Gill for help with grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, intimacy questions and issues around identity. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress and complex emotional responses following loss or trauma.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Gill uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often using practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people work through those patterns to build more satisfying connections.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gill will discuss what feels most important and try methods that match a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday and offering more flexible scheduling across time zones. It can also make some conversations easier when someone prefers not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will work with the client to find practical arrangements that suit their routine and needs.
