Client-centred work online and what it looks like

Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's own priorities. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and support to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach is often used for relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and life transitions such as a midlife crisis.

Gill frames therapy as a collaborative process. She will work with the person to identify what matters most and to try different ways of working. Deciding on the right approach is part of the sessions rather than a one-time choice, and adjustments are made as needs and goals become clearer.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and removing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio sessions easier to manage when they have limited time or bandwidth. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they match personal needs and routines.
