About Gillian
Counsellor Gillian Scott is a BACP member with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be seen.
Gillian draws on client-centred ideas that put the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness exercises and motivational skills are part of her toolkit for managing anxiety, mood and motivation.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Gillian helps people work through specific problems, develop coping skills and set small, achievable goals. She pays attention to how past attachments and experiences of abandonment can shape current relationships and self-image.
She also supports people dealing with long-term illness, chronic pain, caregiver stress and issues around body image. Work on panic, self-love and feelings of emptiness or isolation is included in her practice. Where needed she will focus on communication skills and practical steps to manage distress.
Gillian asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are invited to check the See online counselling options button to begin the process.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that feel right. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together. This is collaborative - goals, preferences and everyday life shape which methods are used and how progress is checked.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments. It can also suit people who need shorter check-ins or who prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as mindfulness and cognitive techniques for remote sessions, and will explain practical arrangements when you book.
