About Gillian
Gillian Scott is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression and coping with life changes, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She uses an approachable style that encourages open conversation. Sessions are practical and interactive, with space to talk through what is worrying you and to try small changes that feel manageable.
Gillian blends client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming thoughts and feelings. This combination is used to look at patterns, test new ways of responding, and support clearer decision making.
Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and isolation. She also notes experience supporting people with autism and with panic symptoms. Conversations may cover what led to a feeling, and what practical next steps might ease day-to-day strain.
Sessions are conducted in English and Gillian accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Gillian commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's perspective and help them feel heard. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people clarify their own goals and values.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. CBT offers practical strategies for testing thoughts, managing anxiety, and reducing repetitive negative thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gillian will discuss what feels helpful and adjust methods based on your goals and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer flexible arrangements to suit everyday routines, and Gillian can discuss which setup fits your circumstances when you arrange the first meeting.
