About Gill
Gill Ryan is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, coping with grief, and building self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to help people feel heard and understood.
She has five years of professional experience and works with a wide range of related concerns. These include blended family issues, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with eating and food-related issues, family problems, fatherhood challenges, guilt and shame, and infidelity.
Background and approach
Gill also addresses feelings of isolation and loneliness, jealousy, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions, and money or financial stress. In sessions she focuses on listening closely and following each person’s priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. She invites clients to explore what matters most to them and to build on existing strengths.
The client-centred method means the person’s experience guides the work. Gill helps people make sense of difficult events and decisions at their own pace. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and create clearer steps forward.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a session is scheduled. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

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
Gill focuses on making the sessions about what the person finds important. Together they explore feelings and choices, and the counsellor helps highlight strengths and options. The process is collaborative, with decisions about pace and focus agreed between the client and the counsellor.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter written exchanges or who want flexible, ongoing contact between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life, or mobility limits. Gill and other registered or accredited professionals can work with clients to choose the format that best fits their needs and goals.
