Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Gillian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas to guide online work. ACT helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of trauma and PTSD to reduce their hold on daily functioning and emotional responses. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect connection and trust, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties and family issues.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Gillian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and maintain continuity of care while working with registered professionals and therapists who adapt techniques for remote delivery.
