Gail Gill, BACP

Gail Gill is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for 26 years in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with addictions, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, eating concerns and anger.

Gail describes an eclectic approach built from decades of practice. She trained in humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive methods and uses those perspectives to help people understand why they act and feel as they do. Sessions focus on helping clients uncover their own answers rather than offering directive advice.

Her background includes a Certificate, an Advanced Certificate and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and training with Gloucestershire Counselling Service, Bristol University, Gloscat and the Royal Forest of Dean College. She has worked with a range of organisations including the Gloucestershire Association for Mental Health and the Terrence Higgins Trust, as well as private clients.

Gail emphasises the role of regular supervision and personal counselling in maintaining professional practice. In sessions she aims to help people take more control over their lives and make their own decisions, rather than acting on their behalf.

People often come to her seeking clearer understanding of long-standing patterns, help with overwhelming emotions, or practical ways to manage stress and anger. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change and why.
