About Gurpreet
Gurpreet Gill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficulties linked to trauma and abuse. Her approach is practical and down to earth.
She aims to make the room a calm place to talk and think. She encourages people to name what is hard and to notice how patterns of thinking and behaviour keep problems going.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Gurpreet uses a mix of approaches so work can be tailored to immediate concerns and longer term goals. Gurpreet draws on Existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, choice and values in life.
She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on acting in line with what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is also used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different ways of coping.
People contact her for a wide range of problems including bipolar mood swings, anger, self-esteem worries and difficulties with relationships or family of origin issues. She also supports those facing addiction, eating and body image concerns, dissociation or feelings of emptiness. Sessions aim to be straightforward.
Conversations often include looking at patterns, trying small changes between sessions and practising clearer ways to manage intense feelings. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
How different approaches work online and in sessions
Existential therapy helps people think about what matters to them and the choices they face; it can be useful when life feels empty, confusing or overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then act in line with personal values to build a more meaningful day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safer in connections.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will listen to your concerns, try out different ways of working, and adjust methods to match your needs and goals. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when you need brief reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, and help maintain steady contact while changing approaches as you progress.
