About Gayle
Counsellor Gayle Wilde is registered with the NCPS and has seven years of practice working with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, LGBT issues and major life changes. Gayle names abandonment and attachment concerns, chronic pain and illness, first responder issues, guilt and shame, self-harm, sexuality and social anxiety among areas she addresses.
Gayle works in a way that puts the client at the centre. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and focuses on their strengths. Sessions move at a person’s pace and follow what feels manageable for them.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred counselling, with elements of psychodynamic thinking, hypnotherapy and mindfulness practice. In practical terms this means talking about patterns in relationships, noticing thoughts and feelings in the moment, and using guided relaxation where helpful.
Gayle has experience in suicide intervention and prevention, and in supporting people bereaved by suicide. That background informs how she handles risk, grief and difficult emotions in conversation.
Sessions are offered in English and she practises in the United Kingdom. Gayle uses a subscription model for bookings that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the platform button.
How Gayle uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and behaviour. It helps when someone repeatedly struggles with trust, abandonment fears or relationship patterns.Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s own priorities. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices in their daily life.
Mindfulness techniques are used to notice thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment. These practices can reduce repeated worry and help with stress and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gayle will discuss options and try different methods according to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about how to proceed are made together rather than imposed.
The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available when booking, as the profile does not list them, and schedule times that suit everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals often support shorter check-ins, video or phone options where offered, and flexibility to try different arrangements as needs change.
