About Gill
Gill Brown is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and many other life challenges. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about what is on their mind.
Gill uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s goals at the centre of sessions.
Background and approach
She also draws on existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are combined with attention to attachment patterns when useful. Sessions are conversational and exploratory.
Gill listens for recurring patterns that can cause pain and helps people notice choices they may have missed. She works with everyday problems such as sleep, eating, parenting stress and career worries alongside deeper issues like grief, abandonment and long-standing relationship patterns. Her background includes work supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and other crime-related trauma.
That experience informs a calm, steady approach when addressing trauma and its effects. Gill also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain and compassion fatigue. Therapy can help with practical coping skills and with looking more closely at the stories people tell about themselves.
Gill offers sessions in English and welcomes clients from outside the UK. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a time that suits you.

Online support
How Gill’s approaches translate to online therapy
Existential work helps people think about meaning, values and the choices they make. Online sessions can use this approach to look at life direction, loss or identity questions through reflective conversation and guided self-inquiry.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and learning to act in ways that match personal values. In online sessions this often means practising short exercises, learning simple skills for distress and setting small value-based goals between meetings.
Attachment-based ideas pay attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Over video or phone, Gill looks for recurring interaction styles and helps people try new ways of relating that reduce repeated hurt.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gill will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and she revises the plan as progress is made. The client and therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth when internet is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
