Gill Brown
Compassionate, practical therapy for lasting change
About Gill
Gill Brown helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and depression. She works with issues such as grief, addiction, parenting strain, self-esteem, career worries and ADHD. She is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
With 20 years of experience and a BACP registration, Gill aims to make sessions feel straightforward and accessible. She creates an open atmosphere where people can talk without feeling judged. The work often involves noticing patterns that keep causing pain and finding ways to change them.
Background and approach
Gill uses a blend of well-known approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive and behavioural strategies to tackle unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses attachment ideas to look at how early relationships affect present connections.
Her style is collaborative and practical. People can expect gentle challenge alongside support, with attention to what they want to achieve. Sessions may include learning tools for emotional regulation, new ways to respond to stress, and exercises to try between appointments.
Gill has a particular interest in deeper, repeating patterns that often lie below everyday problems. She offers help to people affected by abuse, crime-related trauma and other complex experiences. The aim is to help people feel steadier, to make different choices, and to rebuild confidence over time.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then to commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for mood, sleep and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop safer ways of relating and feeling connected.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gill will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the approach fits the person's needs.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful when visual contact helps build rapport, while phone calls can be less demanding on bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules, and to choose the way of working that best supports progress.
