About Gill Brown
Gill Brown is a UK-credentialed therapist with 20 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She has extensive experience working with individuals affected by domestic abuse, homicide-related trauma, crime specialist support needs, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Gill aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and calmly, and where clients can begin to understand patterns that have shaped their lives.
Gill believes that taking the first steps toward deeper self-understanding takes courage, and she works to support and empower clients as they explore sensitive and often painful material. She has a special interest in unconscious processes that lead to repeating patterns. Having trained in psychoanalytic approaches, Gill is able to facilitate deeper exploration of these processes to help clients make sense of recurring dynamics and consider different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Gill combines her psychoanalytic background with practical therapeutic methods to tailor work to each person s needs. She seeks to build a collaborative relationship that balances insight with actionable steps, helping clients move toward clearer choices and healthier patterns over time. Gill holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflect her professional standing within the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Gill Brown draws on several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and encourages committed action toward a more values-driven life - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns and can be beneficial for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore their own solutions and build self-trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gill works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel involved and supported in those choices.
Online therapy with Gill is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these modalities to deliver thoughtful, client-focused care while maintaining the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work.
