About Gill
Gill Brown is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years' experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or who have been affected by trauma and abuse. She also supports those struggling with relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting concerns and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to make conversations straightforward and gentle. Clients are invited to speak about thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels safe to them.
Background and approach
Gill uses practical techniques alongside deeper exploration of repeated patterns. She draws on cognitive approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also works with attachment ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. People leave with clearer steps to try between sessions and ways to handle difficult moments. Gill supports people to notice patterns, try new responses and build more helpful habits.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with people across a wide range of life concerns. Consultations are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Appointments are arranged online by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits both client and counsellor.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they adapt techniques and pace so the work fits the individual's needs, not a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging give a shorter, real-time way to check in between sessions. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
