Profile
I provide a calm and reflective space where you can speak freely about whatever is troubling you. As a counsellor you will find me thoughtful, empathic and committed to my relationship with you. I have enabled many people to gain a clearer understanding of themselves, come to terms with difficult life events and find new ways forward.
My approach to counselling is integrative which means that I draw on various different models including Gestalt, person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches, depending on your particular situation and what seems to work best for you.
I have experience of working with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in working with couples and have helped many people who are having difficulties in their relationships.
My Christian faith informs my view of human beings as unique and valuable individuals. I am always open to discussing issues around faith, religion and spirituality as part of the counselling process, whether you share my faith or are coming from a different perspective.

Further Information
Some feedback from my clients:
"Gill helped me enormously in working things out for myself and understanding the reasons for me feeling, at that time, so very low.”
"During the time I came to counselling with Gill I became more aware of myself and how my way of thinking was affecting my behaviour. I came in the middle of a personal crisis where I was struggling with a lot of negative thoughts. I feel that by expressing and saying how I was feeling and thinking I was able to be more conscious of what I really wanted and how I wanted to live my life. I can say that now I feel more calm, confident and happy than when I began, and I can deal better with the situations that trigger some of my negative thoughts and reactions."
"Thank you so much for standing by my side and providing me with a safe and supportive space, thus enabling me to challenge, confront and address a deep seated fear that was at times disabling."
"Counselling enabled me to feel more in control of my thoughts during my depressive episodes. This made me feel stronger and will enable me to face my depression in a much more positive and assertive way. I would recommend anyone to go for counselling for depression".
"A difficult situation in my life brought me to counselling, which was a scary step, but one I'm very glad I took. My life up until this point had not involved me talking about my feelings. Counselling has made it easier for me to talk about how I feel, and as I have done this I have been able to work through the problems I was having. I now find it a lot easier to share with my friends, meaning that I now truly understand the meaning of good friendships. I have learned a lot about myself and other people, which has been very helpful in my all relationships in my life. Counselling has helped to bring me through an experience, when at points I thought I wasn't going to come out of the other side."
