Gill Ormsby, BACP

Gill Ormsby is a queer, non-binary therapist who works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Gill is integratively trained and accredited by BACP, a professional UK counselling association, and offers both short- and long-term therapy to meet differing needs. They create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can bring concerns ranging from anxiety and low mood to relationship difficulties, family conflict, addiction, trauma and more.

Gill has experience supporting people through a wide variety of issues including mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, neurodiversity and ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, panic and stress, grief and loss, intimacy and sexuality concerns, and struggles around self-esteem and life purpose. They also work with complex relational themes - attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, polyamory and ethical nonmonogamy - alongside trauma-related difficulties including PTSD and domestic abuse.

With particular experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, Gill is explicitly anti-conversion therapy for both sexuality and gender identity. They also offer coaching-style support for career or life transitions and address compassion fatigue for caregiving professionals. Sessions are offered via multiple formats to accommodate different preferences and circumstances, and Gill collaborates with each person to find an approach that fits their goals and situation.

Integrative approaches and flexible online therapy

Gill draws on client-centered therapy and psychodynamic work to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps individuals explore their own feelings and goals; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns rooted in past experience and unconscious processes to make sense of recurring difficulties - it can help with relationship patterns, attachment issues, and long-standing emotional struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gill works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. They discuss options openly, tailor methods to individual needs and preferences, and adjust the focus over time as goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate mobility or work constraints, and allow therapy to continue through life transitions and when in-person meetings are not possible.
