Gillian Gill

Hello, I am Gillian. I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor, I offer counselling and psychotherapy both via face to face and telephone, working from private practices in Clitheroe, Barrowford, Nelson and Crawshawbooth, Rossendale in Lancashire.

I have 20 years experience working in the field of mental health and emotional support and wellbeing supporting adults and young adults. I have worked with individuals with a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, stress, relationship issues, Bi-polar disorder, Asperger's syndrome, sexual abuse, BPD (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder) and suicidal thoughts.

At times life events may feel overwhelming and it often helps to talk to someone for support who is not emotionally attached to you. My aim is to help clients explore their issues and any areas of their lives they may find difficult in therapy, in a safe, supportive environment. I am passionate about supporting people in a calm, confidential space to feel heard and understood. I offer core conditions of empathy, congruence and without judgment to create change. I want to help you feel more fulfilled in life.

Currently there is a lot of anxiety triggered by all the adjustments we have had to make and lack of contact with our family and friends, worries about our finances and uncertainty about our futures. As a result many people are experiencing loneliness right now; supporting your emotional well-being and exploring this with someone impartial can help.

It is natural to feel anxious before starting any therapy, especially for the first time and you may be feeling daunted. As a registered therapist it is a requirement to have had counselling sessions historically and I understand that you may have reservations or queries, hence I offer a free 15 minutes telephone consultation prior to booking ,if you prefer, and advise to have one session, without committing to see if it feels a right fit for you.

 I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have been appropriately trained to meet their rigorous professional standards. I receive monthly supervision which ensures my continued ethical practice within the BACP Ethical Framework. I am fully insured and subscribe to the DBS update service.

Currently also working with Pennine NHS Foundation Trust (Mental Health) and supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students with mental health issues to overcome barriers to study (eight years). Historically: nine years working with Victim Support and seven years working with Rethink Mental Illness in Psychiatric hospitals in the North West. Worked with Age U.K., Remploy, Positive Action in the Community (counselling in high schools), Safespace and Evolve, Lancashire (counselling for victims of domestic abuse, PDVI).

Training, qualifications & experience include:

B.A. (Hons) Counselling and Psychology.

Post graduate Diploma Counselling and Psychotherapy (Professional Training).

Certificate: Moving Your Practice Online.

Certificate in Principles of Working with individuals with Learning Disabilities.

Certificate: Understanding End of Life Care.

City and Guilds: Independent Mental Health Advocacy.

Training courses including: Understanding Self-harm, Grief and Bereavement, Autism Awareness, Bullying and Safeguarding Vulnerable Children and Adults, Personality Disorder Awareness.

*Sessions are 50 minutes*

If you are feeling alone, vulnerable and overwhelmed and want to share your feelings with someone impartial and professional contact me to explore in a safe, confidential setting. We can agree a time for an initial session and exploring your goals.

Please contact me via e.mail or telephone for any enquiries, further discussion or to book any appointments. I will return your enquiry, usually within 24 hours, and you can have a brief, free, initial telephone consultation. We can mutually agree a time to set up an initial session and talk about what you want to get from counselling and any goals. If you are happy to continue you can make arrangements for further sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
