Gill Brown helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She also works with issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Gill offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to people who want to make changes in their lives.

She draws on 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Her practice pays attention to patterns people repeat and the ways past experiences affect current feelings and reactions. Gill uses that insight alongside practical tools to help people feel steadier day to day. Her approach combines acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and some skills from dialectical behaviour methods.

That mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs, whether they want short-term coping strategies or deeper exploration. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Gill typically helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and practise small changes between meetings.

She encourages learners to set clear, achievable goals and to notice small signs of progress. People can expect a respectful and patient counsellor who listens closely. The work is collaborative - the person’s priorities shape each session.

Gill also supports people with specialist concerns such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, chronic illness, and body image struggles.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Gill uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT encourages values-based action so someone can work towards things that matter, even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and emotional responses. This can help people understand patterns in relationships and develop different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and practical problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gill will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor methods to the person in front of her. That means sessions can shift over time from skills work to deeper reflection as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from different places, while phone sessions can fit a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, mood tracking or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
