Gillian Scott

Gillian Scott is a counsellor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works with individuals facing career worries, depression and life changes. She also supports people concerned about body image, attachment and feelings of emptiness. Gillian uses a warm, respectful style and avoids labels that add shame.

Her approach begins by listening closely to what matters to each person. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when helpful, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour. Mindfulness techniques and breathing exercises are used to help calm strong emotions in the moment.

Gillian has five years of experience working with a wide range of issues. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose. She also supports veterans and people dealing with long-term health challenges.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used, which can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions based on the listed availability. Gillian aims to tailor the pace and focus of therapy to each person’s needs.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Online sessions can still prioritise that supportive conversation while you describe your difficulties and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns; it often suits concerns like anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods and help decide which fits best with a person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That choice can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge, and decisions are made collaboratively.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as options were not specified in the biography. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some prefer video for face-to-face feeling, while others choose audio when a quieter background or lower bandwidth helps. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
