About Gill
Counsellor and BACP member Gill Ormsby has four years' experience. Gill works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally on issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship and family concerns, addiction and trauma.
Gill offers both short and longer term work. Sessions are conversational and focused on the problems the person brings. Gill describes their practice as integrative and sees people with a wide range of difficulties, including mood disorders, eating and sleep problems, and sexual or intimacy concerns.
Their background includes work with people affected by abuse, bereavement and complex trauma. Gill also supports those coping with neurodiversity, panic, bipolar and personality disorder presentations. There is particular experience with LGBTQIA+ issues and with people exploring gender and sexuality.
Gill draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise what the person needs in the room. They also use psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from earlier life, and existential thinking to name meaning and choices. Internal Family Systems is part of the approach when working with strong inner parts or conflicting feelings.
Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, coping with work stress and managing anger are worked on alongside deeper material. Gill asks people to choose either short-term focused work or longer therapy when that suits their needs. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How Gill uses her approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs in the moment. It helps when someone wants a space to be heard and to make their own choices about change. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that have developed over time and how earlier relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach can help when repeating relationship issues or unresolved past events keep resurfacing. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gill will talk with each person about their needs and goals and decide together which methods to use. That way the work can shift as things change. The original biography does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove the need to travel to a practice, which some people find helps them attend more consistently.Areas of expertise
