About Gail Gill
Gail Gill is an eclectic counsellor who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches to tailor support to each person's needs. Trained since 1990, she believes that many people can find their own solutions once they understand the underlying reasons for their thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and she uses her therapeutic skills to help clients uncover those personal insights.
Her professional training includes study with Gloucestershire Counselling Service, Bristol University, Gloscat and the Royal Forest of Dean College. She holds a Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and she also maintains BACP membership - a marker of recognised professional standing within the counselling field.
Gail has worked with a broad cross section of the community, including the Gloucestershire Association for Mental Health, the Terrence Higgins Trust, Gloucestershire County Council, a range of private companies and many individual clients. She follows regular clinical supervision and engages in personal counselling as part of her commitment to professional standards and to offering effective care.
Gail places strong emphasis on supporting clients to take more control over their lives while respecting their capacity to make their own decisions. Her role is to accompany and support rather than to advise or act on a client’s behalf.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. This approach is useful for people exploring self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief or life transitions because it privileges personal insight and the client’s own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical techniques to change them. CBT tends to suit people coping with anxiety, panic, low mood, compulsions or stress by offering structured strategies and clear skills to practice between sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviours. It can help people dealing with attachment issues, recurring relational patterns, unresolved trauma or deeper emotional difficulties by bringing hidden dynamics into awareness.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and therapists work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. The therapist will adapt techniques and the pace of work based on ongoing feedback.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those who live far from services. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support while making it easier to attend sessions and continue therapeutic work from different locations.
