About Gill
Gill Brown is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictions. She also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, grief, ADHD and self-esteem issues.
Gill aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings. She encourages practical steps alongside emotional understanding.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on uncovering repeating patterns and finding small changes that make daily life easier. Her approach draws on systemic ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she pays attention to relationships and patterns around a person, while using practical tools to manage mood and anxiety.
Gill has background experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and crime-related trauma, and complex trauma presentations. She uses a reflective style that invites curiosity about how past experiences shape present behaviour and relationships. People who choose Gill can expect straightforward conversation, focused practical strategies, and space to reflect on deeper patterns.
She works collaboratively to set goals and to find an approach that fits each person’s life and needs.

Online support
Approaches and how online sessions work
Gill blends systemic thinking with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns and make meaningful change. Systemic work looks at how relationships and wider life patterns influence mood and behaviour, helping people spot recurring dynamics. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical steps, helping people accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward what matters. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, trust and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gill discusses goals, life demands and personal preferences before testing methods in sessions. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel helpful, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or brief updates, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
