Gillian Langford helps people facing trauma, eating difficulties, low self-esteem, parenting strain and major life changes. She works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, addiction, domestic violence and the stress of caregiving. Gillian speaks English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Gillian uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak without judgement and be heard.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on small, achievable steps forward. Her practice draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred listening. These approaches are used to help people understand difficult feelings, improve relationships and build practical coping skills.

Mindfulness and existential ideas may also be brought in when helpful. Gillian has ten years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She has supported people with eating-related concerns, dissociation, disruptive mood regulation and substance issues among other areas.

Work can cover communication and control problems, codependency and blended family pressures. Therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments that fit their day.

Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online approaches that focus on values and connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck by anxiety, trauma or life transitions and wants practical ways to move forward.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on respectful listening and empathy. The counsellor follows the persons pace, helping them find their own solutions and build stronger self-understanding over time.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and on the bonds between people. It can help those who want to improve closeness, manage attachment concerns or process painful emotional experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gillian will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, needs and preferences. This may mean combining ACT, client-centred listening and emotion-focused ideas into a tailored plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing and need flexible timing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
