About Gillian
Gillian Parker is a counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with nine years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship difficulties, and she also supports people facing parenting strain, grief, career changes and ADHD-related concerns.
She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's experience at the centre of sessions. Gillian also draws on existential ideas about meaning, and she uses mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming thoughts and low mood. She includes some psychoeducation and brief skill work when it helps people manage day-to-day challenges.
Gillian has worked with teenagers and young adults in school and counselling agency settings, and with people from a wide range of backgrounds. She describes her approach as honest and straightforward, adapting how she works to each person's needs and communication style. Sessions are conversational, with time spent listening, reflecting and offering practical suggestions where useful.
People come to her for a mix of short-term practical help and longer conversations about patterns such as attachment, abandonment or impulsivity. She also supports parents dealing with family problems, fertility concerns and issues that stem from family of origin. Conversations often cover boundaries, communication problems and rebuilding self-worth.

How Gillian uses counselling approaches in remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens without imposing answers and helps people clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for relationship issues, low self-esteem and life transitions.Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce anxiety and manage difficult feelings. These techniques are practical and can be used between sessions to steady mood and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gillian will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on present coping skills, longer pattern work, or a blend of both.

They also let people use mindfulness exercises during the week and bring notes or questions to sessions without needing extra travel.
