Gurpreet Gill, BACP

Gurpreet Gill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression. Gurpreet also supports those coping with bipolar symptoms, anger and the impact of past trauma or abuse.

She aims to make therapy straightforward and down to earth. Sessions focus on what matters right now and on small changes that add up over time. Conversations are respectful and driven by the person's priorities rather than a fixed agenda.

Gurpreet draws on a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and elements from dialectical behaviour therapy. This gives options for managing overwhelming feelings, improving self-esteem and changing unhelpful patterns.

People often bring worries about relationships, abandonment, body image, addiction or family problems. She also supports those dealing with dissociation, eating-related concerns, caregiver stress or life events like divorce and separation. Work in sessions might range from practical skills to longer conversations about childhood or family of origin issues.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. Gurpreet helps people set clear goals, practise new ways of coping and check progress as they go. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged around the individual's schedule.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. Online ACT sessions usually focus on clarifying personal values and practising small actions that move someone towards a more meaningful life while managing distressing feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to identify attachment needs and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and mistrust.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In remote CBT the therapist and client work on practical steps and between-session tasks to change thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, depression and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose methods that fit the person's goals, preferences and daily life. It is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit short check-ins and people who prefer not to use video. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and other routines.
