Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, ageing and caring stresses, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions are collaborative and require honesty and commitment from the person seeking help. Gillian aims to be open and direct about the counselling process, explaining options and possible next steps as they arise.

How Gillian uses therapeutic approaches online
Gillian draws on client-centred work that puts the person's views and goals at the heart of each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what matters and helping people discover their own next steps. It suits people who want a respectful, non-directive space to talk about feelings and choices.She also uses trauma-focused methods that attend to the effects of distressing events. These techniques aim to help people make sense of upsetting memories and reduce their ongoing impact. They are often used for anxiety, trauma, abuse and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, check what feels useful and adapt methods to match each person's needs and goals. People are invited to feed back about what helps and what does not as therapy progresses.
The biography notes online sessions but does not list specific formats, so please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer not to travel or who need to schedule appointments within work or caring commitments.
