About Gillian
Gillian Scott welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or uncertainty about work and life direction. She writes in plain language and offers a calm, respectful presence to help people talk through what is hard right now. Gillian holds a BACP accreditation, which she uses as a foundation for her counselling work in the United Kingdom.
Gillian prefers a warm and interactive style. She listens closely and helps clients set small, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical tools such as thought-challenging, simple mindfulness and breathing techniques. The aim is to make day-to-day life feel more manageable rather than using jargon or labels. Her background includes five years of counselling experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, stress and self-esteem concerns.
She also has experience working with career uncertainty, coping with life changes, and issues linked to abandonment, attachment and isolation. Gillian has supported people living with chronic pain, illness or disability and those affected by domestic violence and trauma. Gillian draws on a mix of approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.
She adapts the mix to each person, matching techniques to what the client hopes to achieve. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Gillian works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the initial work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try techniques and adjust them as progress is seen. This means the process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that practical tools such as thought records, brief mindfulness exercises and goal-setting translate well to remote sessions when agreed with the therapist.
