Gail Rickaby is a BACP-registered therapist in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and motivation. Gail also supports clients dealing with addictions, family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career transitions, and the practical adjustments that come with life changes. Her additional focus areas include communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, panic and post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, process addictions, sexual assault and abuse, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Gail integrates Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s situation. She aims to help people understand patterns in their relationships, process painful experiences, and identify doable steps toward change. Gail frames the work as a collaborative process and encourages clients to view beginning therapy as an investment in themselves. With professional counselling, individuals can work toward clearer goals, improved coping, and greater confidence, and Gail invites those ready to begin to take the first step. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
