Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It can be useful for coping with life changes, anxiety and patterns that get in the way of valued living.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathy, acceptance and genuine listening so clients can explore their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship work and personal growth by helping people feel understood and respected.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses emotions and attachment patterns in relationships, guiding people to understand underlying emotional responses and to build stronger, more secure connections. It can be particularly helpful for couple and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals and personal preferences, and may adapt techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, while allowing therapy to continue around work, family and other commitments.
