About Gayle
Counsellor (NCPS), 3 years' experience. Gayle Shingler helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and relationship or parenting concerns. She works with young people as well as adults and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English.
Gayle uses a person-centred approach as her main way of working. She brings other evidence-based therapeutic techniques in when they suit a person’s needs. In practice this means sessions begin by listening to what matters most, then trying methods that fit the problem and the person’s style.
Her experience includes supporting people after domestic abuse and helping teenagers and young adults with motivation, confidence and self-esteem. She also works with a wide range of issues such as grief, bipolar mood challenges, addiction and ADHD-related difficulties. Gayle pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care concerns where these are relevant.
Sessions focus on practical conversations and steps people can use between meetings. Gayle aims to make each session straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. She adapts the approach as progress becomes clear.
Clients can expect a direct, person-centred way of working that draws on recognised therapeutic techniques when appropriate. Gayle’s NCPS credential is noted as part of her professional details. If you are unsure whether she is a fit, check the session options and complete the matching questionnaire before booking.

How Gayle uses therapeutic methods in online work
Gayle primarily uses a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and helping the person lead the pace and topics of therapy. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to build confidence in making their own choices.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques when they match the issue. For example, practical skill-based strategies can be used to manage anxiety or mood swings, giving people steps to practise between sessions. Trauma-informed ways of working are applied when past abuse or traumatic events are central, helping to stabilise reactions and build coping routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gayle will discuss options with each person and test what helps most, adjusting methods to match needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress happens.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or offering quieter surroundings when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity of care and to match session length and frequency to people’s schedules.
