Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Gillian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values. ACT blends practical exercises with a focus on accepting difficult thoughts and emotions so people can pursue meaningful goals despite internal challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns that emerge in relationships and to strengthen clients’ ability to form secure, trusting connections. This approach is especially helpful for those working through relationship difficulties, trauma, or patterns of disconnection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as growth and insight emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making therapy more accessible and flexible for varied schedules and locations. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from registered professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
