Approaches and what online therapy can offer

Gill commonly draws on client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and Internal Family Systems in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting in a non-directive way to help people feel heard and build self-understanding - it can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns rooted in past experiences and relationships to uncover how they influence current feelings and behaviour - this approach can support people dealing with attachment difficulties, recurring relationship struggles, and deeper emotional patterns. Internal Family Systems offers a way to map and dialogue with different parts of the self, helping people understand internal conflicts and work toward greater internal harmony, which can be useful for trauma responses, shame, and complex emotional states.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gill works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most useful, adapting methods to match goals, preferences, and the issues presented rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs, and makes it possible to receive support from wherever one is located. Registered professionals like Gill can use these formats to maintain a consistent therapeutic relationship while tailoring session style and scheduling to the client's life.
