Gillian is one of the most empathetic persons I met. She listens to you with her brain but also hearth, and she successfully summarises your situation from different angels giving you a clear perspective of the problem. Personally, I feel much less anxiety since working with her, and my resilience increased. I can only say good about her and highly recommended.

Gillian is highly empathetic therapist who listens actively and guides towards self-discovery. During sessions I feel safe to express my feelings and thoughts. She helps me navigate through my emotions and uses her expertise to aid me in understanding myself better. Gillian’s compassion, expertise, and empathy are very valuable traits for someone like me who comes from a dysfunctional background. She is a great therapist for anyone who wants to make positive changes in their lives through the process of self-discovery supported by compassionate guidance.

Gillian is a great therapist who you can talk to about anything. She always listens to what you have to say and offers a variety of ways to help cope with your problems. Would definitely recommend.

Gillian has been a sweetheart from the start. She is kind and attentive, listens and reciprocates. It feels like a good conversation rather than what could be described as a medical/mental need and I appreciate that the sessions do not feel textbook and like there is something to be fixed but rather a hand to help you improve.

Gillian is super kind and understanding! Great listener and always makes me feel comfortable with saying things I don’t feel comfortable telling others. If you’re looking for someone who will give you a different (and more positive) perspective on things, I highly recommend her! Couldn’t have asked for someone better to match up with :)

Gillian is a very warm, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable therapist. I have learnt so much from working with her and she has helped me to work through many things over our sessions together.

Gillian is a great resource, helping me discover new tools from diverse toolkits, make small steps going forward, stay positive, and keep in touch with someone I know cares. Makes a huge difference. I couldn't have hoped for a better fit.

From the very first session Gillian made me feel so safe and secure. I am someone who finds it hard to open up and be honest about my feelings, with Gillian this hasn't been an issue, she is so warm and kind, with so much amazing advice to give. I am really looking forward to our upcoming sessions
