About Gillian

Gillian Burnett is a person-centred, trauma-informed counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with both adults and children. She delivers online sessions addressing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, abuse, bereavement and loss, self-esteem struggles, and the effects of significant life events.

Gillian adopts a nonjudgemental, supportive approach aimed at guiding clients through the counselling process while respecting their autonomy. She does not direct clients on what to do unless practical advice is specifically requested and within her scope to offer. The therapeutic work depends on the client’s commitment and honesty, and Gillian brings consistent professional intent, honesty, and respect to each therapeutic relationship.

Gillian holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her membership of a national professional body. She regards engagement in therapy as a courageous first step and considers it a privilege to accompany people as they work through the issues they wish to address.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering empathic, nonjudgemental support that helps people explore their feelings and build self-understanding. It is well suited to issues like self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping strategies for everyday challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to work through the effects of traumatic experiences by creating a structured, paced process for processing difficult memories and reactions. This approach can help those dealing with abuse, loss, or other trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Gillian will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and for some needs live chat or text-based messaging is available. These options make it easier to schedule around work, family, or mobility needs and allow people to connect with registered professionals and therapists in ways that suit their communication style.
