About Gail Gill

Gail Gill is an experienced counsellor whose practice blends humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive approaches to meet each person's needs. She has been training and working in counselling since 1990 and believes that people can often find the answers they need by exploring how past experiences have shaped their present patterns. Gail supports clients in exploring those underlying reasons and helps them move toward meaningful change.

Her professional training includes study with Gloucestershire Counselling Service, Bristol University, Gloscat, and the Royal Forest of Dean College. She holds a Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling, and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Gail is also BACP registered - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that indicates adherence to professional standards and continuing development.

Gail has worked across a wide range of settings, including the Gloucestershire Association for Mental Health, the Terrence Higgins Trust, Gloucestershire County Council, private companies, and with individual clients. To maintain professional standards and reflect best practice she engages in regular clinical supervision and personal counselling.

Her approach is respectful and client-led. Gail aims to support people to make their own decisions rather than to advise or act on their behalf, working in ways that help clients regain a sense of control and agency in their lives.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Gail uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people who want to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-esteem. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. When appropriate, Gail incorporates psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and experiences influence current patterns, which can help with longstanding emotional difficulties and relationship issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gail works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and practical needs, and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit around work, family, and mobility needs. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access a registered professional from home or another convenient location, while still receiving focused therapeutic support tailored to the client.
