About Gayle
Gayle Shingler is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Gayle uses a person-centred style and adds other techniques when a client needs them.
She has three years of professional experience and works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem and motivation. Gayle also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and life changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with young people and those affected by domestic abuse. In sessions she focuses on listening closely, building trust and shaping each plan around what the individual needs. Conversations are tailored so clients can talk at their own pace and gain concrete ways to cope.
She aims to help people notice small changes that add up over time. Gayle describes her practice as sensitive and compassionate. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and can support clients managing ADHD, bipolar concerns or neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Practical problems like caregiving stress, career decisions and blended family dynamics are also within her remit. When appropriate, she draws on strategies for addictive behaviours, dissociation and coping after separation or violence. The goal is to create a simple, realistic plan to improve day-to-day functioning.
Gayle welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
She also draws on evidence-based techniques to help with symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. These practical strategies can include ways to manage distressing thoughts, develop steady routines, and build coping skills for cravings or emotional triggers. Such techniques are useful for issues like low mood, panic, addiction-related urges and responses after abuse.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gayle will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and life situation. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant as things change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want visual contact. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people reflect in writing and fit therapy around busy days. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, study or family commitments.
