About Gillian
Gillian Scott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression or big life changes. Her approach is straightforward and kind, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.
Gillian works with practical goals. She uses short-term strategies alongside deeper conversations to help people find clearer thinking and steadier moods. Sessions often include simple breathing and mindfulness tools to manage panic and intense feelings.
Background and approach
Her way of working is collaborative. Gillian listens first and then tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She blends Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive techniques and solution-focused planning to help people notice small changes that add up.
She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her credentials. Gillian can support people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and self-love issues, chronic illness or pain, and the pressures that come with caregiving.
She also works with people navigating career crossroads, isolation, guilt, or life purpose questions. Sessions are offered in English and Gillian accepts international clients. Appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

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
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT gives practical steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, tackle panic and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Gillian will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. Decisions are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult and take less data. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, share short updates or fit quick conversations around busy days. These options help make therapy fit into work, family life and other commitments.
