About Gail
Gail Gill is a counsellor with 26 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works in a way that helps people find their own answers. Gail believes change comes from understanding why someone feels or behaves as they do.
Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take more control over their lives. Gail trained in humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches since 1990.
Background and approach
She has a Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate, and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Training was completed through Gloucestershire Counselling Service, Bristol University, Gloscat and the Royal Forest of Dean College. Her background includes counselling with the Gloucestershire Association for Mental Health, the Terrence Higgins Trust, Gloucestershire County Council, personal companies and individual clients.
She keeps up regular supervision and personal counselling to meet professional standards and reflect on her work. In sessions Gail focuses on listening first, then helping people notice patterns that keep problems going. She does not give advice or act on a client’s behalf; instead she supports people to make their own decisions.
This can include talking about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions and depression. Gail adapts the therapy style to what each person needs. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about painful issues.
Her goal is to help clients discover practical ways to cope and move forward.

Approaches Gail lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and panic.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past experiences and how they affect current patterns. It helps people notice repeated themes in their relationships and emotions so they can make different choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gail will discuss options and try to match the method to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter, ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
