About Gillian
Gillian Scott is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Gillian uses practical, goal-focused conversations. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Her work includes straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness exercises.
She often supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also works with those managing chronic illness or pain and people affected by past emotional or physical trauma. Panic and problems with communication are commonly addressed in sessions.
Gillian blends short-term problem solving with space to look at what matters over time. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and solution-focused methods to plan practical next steps. Mindfulness and breathing practices are used to reduce immediate distress and build coping skills.
Sessions follow a simple structure: discuss the current problem, try a technique in session, and set a small practical task for between sessions. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT, client-centred work and mindfulness translate online
Gillian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. CBT sessions focus on a clear problem, practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. That approach helps people feel heard and identify their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as brief exercises and breathing practices to reduce immediate distress and build present-moment awareness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session and agree what fits best for your situation. This is a collaborative process based on your needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also means practical tools from CBT and mindfulness can be practised in everyday settings to see what helps most.
