Gill Brown, BACP

Gill Brown is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with two decades of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also covers grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and the pressures that come with parenting and caregiving.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Gill supports clients who want to understand repeated patterns in their life and who are ready to take steps towards change. She describes this as a courageous process and offers steady support throughout.

Gill uses a blended approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches. She helps people notice what matters to them, make small practical changes, and manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

Her background includes work with people affected by domestic abuse, homicide and crime-related specialist support, and other complex trauma. Gill also has experience with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, neurodiversity, and alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How online work can use ACT and attachment ideas

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take practical steps that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression and problems where avoidance keeps someone stuck.

Attachment-based approaches look at early relationship patterns and how they shape current closeness and trust. This can help when relationship worries, intimacy issues or attachment concerns keep showing up in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most helpful, then use that information to shape sessions together. That collaborative decision-making means techniques are adjusted as things change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or health needs, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It also makes it possible for people outside the local area to access registered or accredited professionals and continue work when life circumstances change.
