About Gillian
Gillian Robins helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. She supports people struggling with trauma, relationship and intimacy worries, and difficulties such as obsessions, compulsions and panic. Gillian acknowledges how painful and confusing these experiences can be, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy as straightforward as possible.
Gillian is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She brings both personal and professional insight to issues such as limerence and process addictions.
Background and approach
Her practice is influenced by trauma-informed ideas and the work of Dr Gabor Maté, which emphasises how early life shapes emotional patterns. In sessions she encourages people to notice the reasons behind their reactions rather than only focusing on symptoms. Conversations are approached with compassion and curiosity.
Gillian aims to help clients spot recurring patterns and make practical changes that feel manageable. She creates a relaxed space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement. Gillian honours the courage it takes to start therapy and works at the client’s pace.
She invites people to bring what feels most pressing and to shape the work around their goals. Gillian works in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Gillian works online
She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, panic, obsessions and compulsions, and behaviours linked to process addictions. These techniques focus on practical strategies to reduce distress and on learning to recognise and change unhelpful cycles.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gillian will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, tailoring methods to goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to schedule sessions so they fit around work, family or other commitments.
