Gayle Shingler , NCPS

Gayle Shingler is a licensed practitioner in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy. She practices primarily from a person-centred perspective while integrating other evidence-based techniques when they support a client's goals and circumstances.

Gayle has experience assisting people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She has worked extensively with teenagers and young adults and has particular experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse. Her work also extends to areas such as relationships, grief, parenting challenges and coping with life changes.

Known for treating people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, Gayle tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s needs. She frames the first step toward change as an act of courage and positions herself as a supportive collaborator throughout the therapeutic journey, helping clients build clarity, resilience and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Person-centred and Evidence-based Support Online

Gayle principally works from a person-centred approach, which emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration so the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, motivation and a stronger sense of personal agency.

She also integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques when they fit a client's needs. These structured methods draw on current research and offer practical strategies to address issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties and addictive behaviours, adapting tools to suit each person.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Gayle will explore a client's goals, preferences and life context and recommend or adjust methods in collaboration, making sure the plan feels useful and manageable.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, access from different locations and multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy or changing lives, while allowing Gayle and the client to focus on practical progress and support.
