Gurpreet Gill, BACP

Gurpreet Gill is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, bringing seven years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and low self-esteem. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people find steadier ways to live day to day.

Gurpreet creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about things that feel hard to say. She emphasises building a trusting relationship and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to identify small, useful steps that suit someone’s life and goals.

Her background covers a wide range of concerns beyond her main focus. These include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating-related problems, caregiver stress, communication and control difficulties, dissociation, and problems arising from family of origin or relationship breakdowns. She also has experience with substance-related issues and domestic violence.

Gurpreet draws on several established therapy styles to shape her work. She uses practical thinking tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and emotion regulation skills from dialectical methods. She also values client-centred listening and explores how attachment patterns influence current relationships.

People who pick Gurpreet tend to want clear communication and practical steps, alongside acceptance of difficult feelings. She supports carers through the stresses that can come with that role and helps parents and those with caregiving responsibilities talk through strain and responsibility. Her style suits people seeking both short-term help and longer work on deeper patterns.

Therapeutic approaches that work in flexible ways

Gurpreet uses approaches that focus on values, patterns and present thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that fit their values, which can help with anxiety, depression and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop different ways of connecting and relating.

Finding the right approach often happens together. Gurpreet will listen to what matters to you, discuss approaches, and try methods that match your goals and preferences. She adapts the work as you go, so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel, and allow quicker check-ins when life feels hectic. Some people prefer a quieter audio call, while others like video for face-to-face interaction; the therapist will help decide what suits your routine and needs.
