About Gurpreet
Gurpreet Gill is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation and draws on a range of practical approaches to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. Gurpreet aims to make talking about difficult things straightforward and compassionate.
Gurpreet helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and bipolar difficulties. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, anger, and struggles with self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her work extends to issues such as body image, dissociation, control problems and the strain of caregiving. Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps to make life more manageable.
Techniques from cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance approaches are mixed with a client-centred way of listening. Clients can expect a calm space to name painful experiences like abandonment, family of origin problems, divorce and domestic violence. Gurpreet pays attention to how attachment patterns and past losses affect present relationships and emotions.
She also works with people dealing with addiction, eating and food-related issues, emptiness and communication problems. The aim is to help clients build coping skills, spot unhelpful patterns and find clearer personal choices. Gurpreet encourages people to take the next step when they are ready.
Practical pacing, plain language and a steady focus on the client's goals guide her sessions.

How Gurpreet works online
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Gurpreet will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which approaches to use and how to pace the work so it fits with daily life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family, study or work and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and means sessions can fit into a lunch break or an evening at home. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can adapt CBT and ACT tools for remote sessions so practical exercises and planning still happen between meetings.
