About Gillian

Gillian Parker is a UK-qualified counsellor with more than nine years of professional experience and is a registered accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions, applying practical skills alongside empathic listening to help clients move forward.

Gillian works with clients of all ages and has particular experience with teenagers and young adults from both school and counselling agency settings. She describes herself as friendly, compassionate, honest and empathic, and brings that supportive stance into each therapeutic relationship. Her practice blends person-centred and humanistic influences with psychoeducation and elements of cognitive behavioural approaches, allowing her to tailor sessions to an individual’s needs and goals.

She aims to meet people where they are and to adapt her style to suit different personalities and circumstances. Gillian believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that drawing on existing strengths is central to overcoming challenges. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can feel difficult - she offers steady support and practical collaboration throughout the process.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers acceptance and empathy, helping people explore their feelings and find their own solutions; it can be especially helpful for issues like relationship challenges, self-esteem and navigating life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and attention techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation, which can support work with anxiety, stress and impulsivity. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice and values, offering a space to consider identity, purpose and difficult transitions in life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Gillian works collaboratively to figure out what will suit each person best. She adapts methods to a client’s goals, preferences and circumstances so therapy becomes a shared process of exploration and practical progress.

Online therapy with Gillian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work, allowing consistent support even when life is busy or circumstances change.
