About Gill Brown
Gill Brown is a UK-credentialed therapist with 20 years of professional experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), the national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She specialises in supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and crime-related incidents, as well as those experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Gill stresses the importance of creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where taking the first steps toward change is met with understanding and respect.
She has a particular interest in the unconscious processes that lead to repeated patterns of behaviour and relationship dynamics. Trained psychoanalytically, Gill works to help clients uncover and understand those deeper patterns while also offering practical, collaborative support. Her aim is to empower people to recognise unhelpful cycles, develop new coping strategies, and move toward clearer self-understanding and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Gill Brown draws on several established approaches to support clients online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking practical steps toward a more meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and can help with relationship difficulties, trauma, and attachment issues by exploring emotional bonds and improving connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens without judgment and supports the client's own process of growth and self-discovery - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating complex emotional concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gill works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pace so therapy is a joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce barriers related to location, and make it easier to access ongoing support from registered professionals and therapists. These options allow people to engage in consistent work from home, during travel, or wherever they feel most comfortable, while maintaining the therapeutic focus and continuity of care.
