About Gill
Gill Ormsby is a non-binary counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). They offer a welcoming space to talk through worries in a direct and compassionate way. Gill supports people facing anxiety, low mood and relationship or intimacy difficulties, and also works with issues around identity and sexuality.
Gill uses a blend of talking approaches to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences might still affect daily life.
Background and approach
Gill aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and to make decisions that feel right for them. Clients bring many different concerns, including addiction, trauma, grief, eating and sleeping problems, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, stress and burnout, and challenges linked to neurodiversity and ADHD.
Gill also works with issues like communication difficulties, abandonment and attachment wounds, body image, and navigating separation or divorce. Their background includes four years of clinical experience and practical work with LGBTQIA+ people. Gill is explicitly opposed to conversion therapy for sexual orientation or gender identity.
They accept clients in the United Kingdom and internationally and offer both short- and longer-term support. People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Gill works online
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from past experience and how they show up now; this can help with recurring relationship problems, attachment worries and longstanding emotional pain. Gill blends these approaches to meet practical goals while also exploring deeper themes, and they will work together with each person to find the best fit for therapy goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life, avoiding travel time, and having easier access to a therapist who accepts international clients. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for regular check-ins, weekly work on coping strategies, or focused conversations about relationships and identity.
