Gill Ormsby, BACP

Gill Ormsby is a queer, non-binary therapist who works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, offering both short-term and long-term sessions. They are BACP accredited - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draw on an integrative training to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Gill creates a warm, practical space to explore difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and a wide range of neurodiverse and mood-related concerns. Their experience also covers issues including intimacy, sexuality, gender identity and transition, grief and end-of-life matters, panic, obsessive patterns, and self-harm, as well as relational themes like attachment, abandonment and communication problems.

They have particular experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients and are explicitly opposed to any form of conversion therapy for sexuality or gender identity. Gill’s approach aims to be compassionate and useful, helping people facing life changes, career pressures, compassion fatigue, or questions about purpose and self-worth. Sessions are offered through multiple formats to make therapy accessible for different lifestyles and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gill integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s own goals and lived experience guide the work - it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring life direction, and addressing anxiety or low mood. Internal Family Systems views the mind as made up of different parts and helps people understand and communicate with those internal parts to heal from trauma, manage intense emotions, and reduce inner conflict. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that arise from past relationships and unconscious dynamics, which can shed light on longstanding relationship difficulties, attachment struggles, and repeated life patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Gill works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and adapts the work as progress and needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel. For many people this accessibility supports consistent engagement and allows therapists and registered professionals to provide ongoing care across distances.
