Gill Ormsby

Gill Ormsby is a BACP counsellor who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult issues. They introduce an open, conversational style that helps people name what is troubling them and decide what to do next. Gill uses clear, direct language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable.

Gill draws on client-centred ways of working to follow each person’s priorities. They also use psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present feelings. Internal Family Systems is part of the approach when people want to notice and talk with different parts of themselves.

They have four years of experience working with a wide range of difficulties. This includes anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, bipolar and mood disorders, addiction, and eating and food-related concerns. Gill also supports people dealing with life changes, work stress, sleep problems and difficulty with self-esteem.

Gill has particular experience with LGBTQIA+ issues and is clear that they oppose conversion practices for sexuality and gender identity. They offer help with attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, isolation, and sexual concerns, among other areas.

Sessions are offered in English and Gill sees clients based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Gill's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the person. This helps people feel heard and decide which issues to work on, from anxiety to relationship worries.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to repeating patterns and how earlier relationships influence current reactions. It can be useful for understanding why certain situations trigger strong emotions or old hurts.

Gill treats finding the right way forward as a joint process. They will discuss together which approach or combination feels most helpful, and adjust the work as needs and goals change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, check the service to confirm which session options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work from different locations, or avoid being on camera if that is preferred.

Registered or accredited professionals use these kinds of approaches successfully with people across many concerns, including eating and food-related issues, anxiety and relationship problems. Gill will help decide how to shape sessions so they fit your day-to-day life and goals.
