About Gill

Gill Brown is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and changes in life. She aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about painful experiences and difficult feelings.

Gill works collaboratively, helping people make sense of patterns that keep repeating in their lives. She explains things plainly and breaks down complex feelings into smaller, manageable steps.

Background and approach

Her approach balances practical coping skills with deeper reflection so clients can feel steadier day to day and understand underlying triggers. Over two decades Gill has supported people affected by domestic abuse, violent crime and bereavement, and those managing long-term stress or compassion fatigue. She also helps with issues such as addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns.

Her wider interests include attachment and adoption-related themes, neurodiversity and long-term illness or caregiving stress. Gill’s practice draws on trauma-focused work alongside therapies that look at thoughts, values and relationships. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-based methods to introduce clear techniques for coping.

At the same time she pays attention to relational patterns and the unconscious dynamics people carry into current relationships. People who choose Gill can expect straightforward language, a steady manner and practical options to try between sessions. She offers sessions in English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Ways of working Gill names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Gill

Gill uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. This work often looks at memories and reactions related to abuse, violence or loss and aims to make those experiences less overwhelming.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take steps towards a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. ACT offers simple exercises to notice thoughts, choose actions and build psychological flexibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Gill treats it as a collaboration. Together they will talk about your goals and try methods that suit your needs. She adjusts techniques over time so work in sessions feels relevant to your everyday life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or an option for people who prefer written conversation. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel.
