Gayle Wilde helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She supports those navigating sexuality and LGBT issues, and people coping with major life changes. Her manner is calm and non-judgemental, and she encourages each person to go at their own pace.

Gayle describes clients as the experts in their own lives. She draws on strengths already present while gently guiding new ways of managing worries.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn between meetings. Her background includes seven years of professional experience, with specific work in suicide intervention and prevention and grief after suicide. That experience informs how she responds to crisis and to the complex feelings that follow loss.

Gayle works with attachment-related concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, and with people experiencing chronic pain, illness or disability. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, self-harm thoughts, social anxiety and the pressures faced by first responders. In therapy she blends approaches that suit the person - including attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas, client-centred listening, mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy techniques.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Gayle works from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.

How Gayle’s approaches work for online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In sessions clients look at connection and trust issues and learn new ways to feel safer in relationships, which can ease anxiety and feelings of abandonment.

Client-centred therapy is built around listening and reflecting without judgement. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, helping people make sense of their experience and find their own solutions to stress, self-esteem and life changes.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to tackle unhelpful habits or distressing memories. It can be helpful alongside other approaches for symptoms such as anxiety, difficulty sleeping or persistent negative self-beliefs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gayle will discuss options and try techniques collaboratively, adjusting methods to match a person’s goals and preferences as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same focused support online while giving practical flexibility.
