Gurpreet Gill

Gurpreet Gill is a counsellor who practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has seven years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and depression. Gurpreet also works with trauma, anger and issues around self-esteem, and she helps people who are dealing with mood swings such as bipolar disorder.

In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She encourages clients to take small, steady steps toward change. The focus is practical - understanding what is happening now and finding workable ways to cope.

Gurpreet draws on several therapies when planning sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are among her tools to help manage overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to explore relationship patterns and core needs.

Therapy sessions typically look at patterns that keep problems going. That might include exploring family of origin issues, body image and eating or food-related concerns, communication problems, or past abuse. Work can also address addiction, separation or loss, and caregiver stress.

The approach is collaborative. Gurpreet helps people set goals and chooses methods together with them. Practical strategies and gentle reflection are mixed so clients can try things between sessions and notice what changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Gurpreet uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and to practise different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday worries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and on making room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life; it can suit people who want to clarify priorities and act despite uncomfortable thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections and self-view.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Gurpreet works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. She aims to try practical strategies together and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Different formats suit different needs - for example, shorter check-ins can fit into a busy day, and audio-only sessions may use less data and be easier when video is difficult. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work and family life, reducing travel, and keeping continuity when schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
