About Gill
Gill Ormsby is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, practical space to talk. Gill welcomes people from the UK and internationally and works with short- and long-term sessions. They use an open, straightforward style to help with whatever feels hard right now.
Gill draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. They blend that with client-centred listening so the conversation stays focused on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic thinking and Internal Family Systems ideas are used where helpful to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and inner parts that feel stuck. Gill has four years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, bipolar mood difficulties, addictions, trauma and bereavement.
They also help with relationship and intimacy issues, sexuality, gender matters, eating and sleep problems, attention differences and the stress of life changes. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Gill works in a relaxed, non-judgemental way and aims to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
They are explicitly opposed to conversion approaches for sexuality or gender identity. People who book with Gill complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a session that fits with the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and are charged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Approach and access: how online counselling can help
Gill blends existential therapy and client-centred work to support people online. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and the problems that come from life transitions or feeling stuck; it can help when people face big questions about purpose, identity or loss. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding, giving space for someone to name what matters and build their own solutions. Where helpful, psychodynamic ideas about repeated patterns and Internal Family Systems concepts about inner parts may be used to deepen understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Gill works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs and goals, adjusting methods as progress is made. The therapist will talk through options and agree a way of working together that feels right for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a therapy-like conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
