About Gill
Gill Ormsby works in a client-centred way that puts the person first. They use listening and open questions to help people make sense of what is happening. Gill draws on psychodynamic thinking and Internal Family Systems to understand patterns and the parts of a person that hold difficult feelings.
Gill offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people dealing with anxiety, low mood and stress. They help with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
Gill also supports people facing trauma, grief, and issues around sexuality and gender identity. With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Gill has worked with a wide range of issues. Their background includes supporting people with bipolar and mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and problems with self-esteem and communication.
They also address attachment and abandonment concerns, and difficulties around control, forgiveness and guilt. Sessions can explore how early experiences shape current relationships. Gill uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns.
Internal Family Systems gives a way to notice the different parts that influence thoughts and behaviour. The client-centred stance keeps the person's goals at the heart of the work. Gill sees people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
They offer video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches Gill lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gill will discuss different ways of working and collaborate with the person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That might mean prioritising gentle exploration of feelings at first, then adding parts work or more structured conversations later.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want more frequent, shorter contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
