About Gayle
Gayle Shingler offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed. She writes plainly and listens closely, so a person can say what is on their mind without judgment. Gayle aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns and mood struggles in a way that fits their daily life.
Gayle uses a person-centred style that keeps the client at the heart of each session. She adapts other evidence-based techniques when they will help, and she makes a simple plan with clear steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical ways to build confidence, improve coping, and work through difficult experiences such as trauma, grief, or relationship strain. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with NCPS. Gayle says she treats people with respect and sensitivity, and she aims to tailor discussions to each person’s needs.
She accepts people from other countries and conducts sessions in English. Typical topics Gayle supports include stress, low mood, self-esteem, addiction, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career changes, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as ADHD or autism. She also addresses matters like abandonment, attachment difficulties, bereavement, and the effects of domestic violence.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Gayle encourages a collaborative approach so clients help choose goals and the pace of work. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step smaller and more manageable.

Online support
She also draws on other evidence-based techniques when they will help address specific problems. For example, practical coping strategies can be introduced to reduce anxiety or to manage cravings related to addiction, and structured exercises can support mood regulation and everyday functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gayle will discuss options with each client and together they will decide which methods best match the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy with Gayle is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can feel most like an in-person session, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they give flexible ways to keep up with sessions when life is busy.
