About Gill
Gill Brown is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life changes. She also works with concerns such as addictions, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and ADHD.
Gill aims to make sessions calm and non-judgemental. She invites people to talk openly about difficult feelings and unsettling patterns.
Background and approach
She believes starting therapy takes courage and that small steps can lead to clearer understanding. Her practice pays attention to deeper, often unconscious patterns that show up again and again in a person’s life. She has trained in psychoanalytic approaches and uses Jungian ideas about symbols and inner processes to help people reflect on repeating themes.
This helps when someone wants to understand why they repeat old patterns. She also draws on practical methods to support change day to day. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance and commitment approaches are used where helpful to manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Attachment-based and client-centred methods shape how she builds safety and trust in sessions. Sessions are available online in English for people in the UK and internationally. Gill is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Online support
Approaches you can explore online
Gill uses Jungian ideas to help people notice repeating life themes and the symbols that appear in their thoughts and dreams. This approach aims to deepen self-understanding and is useful for someone who wants to reflect on long-standing patterns and inner meaning.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT helps people build psychological flexibility and manage anxiety, low mood, or life transitions in practical ways.
The therapist uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This can be helpful for people who want to address trust, closeness, and repeating relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gill will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. Phone or messaging can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth, while video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is. Many people find the flexibility of these formats helps them keep continuity between sessions and practise new skills in daily life.
