About Gill
Gill Ormsby is a queer counsellor who offers a welcoming space to talk about low mood, anxiety, relationship strain and other concerns. Gill works with people from the UK and internationally and uses a flexible approach suited to short or longer-term work. Gill bases sessions around listening first and then helping people find practical ways forward.
Conversations can cover everyday stresses, grief, addiction, sleep problems, sexuality, neurodiversity or difficulties with intimacy.
Background and approach
Gill aims to make things feel manageable one step at a time. With four years' experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Gill draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Gill also uses Client-Centred methods to prioritise what matters to the person in the room.
Internal Family Systems is applied where people want to understand the different parts of themselves. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can pick what suits them. Gill says therapy is a collaboration and will work with each person to agree goals and ways of checking progress.
Gill describes the work as honest and compassionate, aiming to reduce shame and build self-understanding. If someone is unsure where to begin, Gill encourages a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment to see how things feel.

Approaches Gill 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
Psychodynamic ideas help people spot repeating patterns and early life influences that shape current feelings. Online sessions can provide the time and continuity needed to notice those patterns and to try new ways of relating to difficult thoughts and emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gill treats therapy as a collaborative effort and will discuss which methods to try based on a person's goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. Plans can adapt over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a more traditional conversational session, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging or live chat can work well for brief check-ins, shorter notes between sessions or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
