Gill Brown, BACP

Gill Brown offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. She also supports those facing addictions, grief, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Gill works with people who identify as LGBT and those with a wide range of additional concerns such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and body image worries.

She brings 20 years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, which is noted as her professional credential. Gill aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She uses straightforward conversation so people can better understand what is behind recurring patterns.

In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. She draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to suit different problems and personalities. The work can involve looking at thoughts and behaviours, and noticing how early relationships shape current responses.

Gill is also experienced supporting people impacted by domestic abuse, serious crime and homicide-related trauma. She focuses on empowering clients to recognise patterns they want to change and to take practical steps towards those changes.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are advised to use the site process to match with her and to confirm the available session formats before booking.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and can be useful when patterns of closeness or distance cause pain.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different ways of working until they find what fits best. That collaborative approach means methods are adapted to the person rather than imposing a single model.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caring duties, avoiding travel time, and having continuity when life is unpredictable.

Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to maintain a regular schedule and to build the work into everyday life without large disruptions.
