Gill Ormsby, BACP

Gill Ormsby offers a warm, straightforward counselling style grounded in listening and collaboration. Gill uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people talk through anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and identity concerns. They aims for sessions that feel practical and humane, with space to make sense of difficult feelings and everyday struggles.

Gill has four years' experience supporting people with a wide range of issues. Common concerns include addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and mood disorders, and stress and anxiety. Gill also addresses intimacy, sexuality, body image and questions about identity and belonging.

Their approach draws on Internal Family Systems to look at different parts of someone’s experience and on existential ideas that focus on meaning and choice. Gill blends short-term focused work with longer-term exploration depending on what the person wants. Sessions are described in plain language and aim to uncover practical ways to cope and move forward.

Gill is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. They work with clients across the United Kingdom and with international clients. Sessions are offered in English and run online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and books a session slot. Gill supports people who are navigating grief, relationship change, identity questions, trauma recovery and everyday overwhelm, helping them find clearer thinking and steadier routines.

How Gill’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgement. It helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through feelings and make decisions about next steps.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and in feelings. It helps uncover where old experiences affect present behaviour and offers a way to work through recurring difficulties such as trust, attachment and long-standing mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gill will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals, adjusting over time as understanding grows and priorities change.

Online therapy with Gill uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls suit people who prefer no camera, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging works well for ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities, and let people pick the format that best matches their day-to-day life.
