About Gillian
Gillian Scott is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and life changes. She names work and wellbeing among her focuses and supports people trying to manage depression or cope after difficult events. Her style is warm and non-judgemental and she aims to create a respectful space for honest conversation.
Gillian has five years of clinical experience and is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She blends different approaches to suit each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions include practical tools such as breathing and mindfulness alongside talking and reflection.
Clients can expect a collaborative way of working. Gillian uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most, then draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set achievable steps between sessions.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, isolation, and panic attacks. She also supports people navigating life purpose, guilt and shame, and issues linked to veteran and armed forces experiences.
Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the booking process.
How therapy approaches translate to online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It involves reflective conversation and empathy to help someone feel heard and to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and ease anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that suit the person's situation. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, as they reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins during lunch breaks or between appointments. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain continuity while travelling or living abroad, and it still allows for practical exercises, breathing work and goal-setting between sessions.
