Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Gillian often works from a client-centred perspective, creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping clients explore their values and personal strengths, which can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem and life transitions.She also integrates mindfulness therapy techniques to help people develop greater present-moment awareness and coping strategies for stress, anxiety and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices can support calmer responses to difficult thoughts and feelings and help build attention and resilience.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting sessions as things evolve so the work remains practical and person-centred.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with a registered professional. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and for some people live chat or text-based messaging provide convenient options to reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
