Hardish Gill, BACP

Hardish Gill welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She is clear and approachable, and helps people build everyday skills that make a real difference. Her work supports those coping with low self-esteem, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, career stress and other common struggles.

She brings six years of hands-on experience from practice in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. Hardish uses a warm, interactive style that focuses on what each person needs. Sessions often involve practical techniques such as mindfulness, structured self-care, and keeping a journal to help express thoughts and feelings.

Her base approach is Person-Centred Therapy, a humanistic way of working that puts the client’s perspective first. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable changes.

Hardish describes herself as an integrative therapist who blends methods to match each person’s goals. She typically makes a simple plan together with the person she is seeing, choosing techniques that fit their situation and preferences.

Her manner is patient and non-judgemental, and she aims to make sessions feel calm and purposeful. For many people, that practical, steady approach helps them move from coping to making constructive changes in daily life.

Approaches you can try through online sessions

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions and build self-understanding. This approach can be useful for those who need acceptance and space to work through their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what is already working. It is short-term and goal-oriented, and can help when someone wants to focus on immediate coping strategies and clear next steps.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when time allows, phone sessions are good for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats suit people who prefer writing or need a quick, accessible way to reflect between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
