About Gail
Gail Gill is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 26 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and a wide range of mood and interpersonal concerns. Gail uses client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches in her work.
Gail describes herself as an eclectic counsellor. She explains that people often understand their own difficulties when they are helped to look at where those patterns began. Her role is to listen, reflect and help clients notice the causes of their feelings so they can choose different responses.
Her training began in 1990 and includes study with Gloucestershire Counselling Service, Bristol University, Gloscat and the Royal Forest of Dean College. She holds a Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She maintains regular supervision and personal counselling as part of her professional practice.
Gail has worked in a range of settings, including Gloucestershire Association for Mental Health, the Terrence Higgins Trust, Gloucestershire County Council, private companies and individual clients. She says she does not give advice or act on a client’s behalf, but supports people to make their own decisions.
She places importance on keeping disclosures handled with care. Gail aims to help people take more control over their lives by identifying patterns and trying different ways of coping.

How Gail’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach can help when someone needs a space to talk things through and develop clearer self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT can include structured conversations, simple exercises and agreed tasks to work on between sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to earlier life patterns and how they affect current relationships and moods. In online sessions this can mean tracking recurring themes and noticing where past experiences shape present reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gail will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as you learn more about what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help some people maintain regular sessions while they tackle stress, anxiety, relationship issues and other concerns.
