Gill Ormsby , BACP

Gill Ormsby is a non-binary, queer therapist who works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally, offering both short- and long-term therapy. They hold BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Gill practices in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches to tailor support to each person's circumstances and goals.

Gill meets people where they are, whether the presenting issue is anxiety, low mood, relationship or family difficulties, struggles with sleep or eating, or broader life changes. They bring experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, addiction, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, grief and bereavement, and a wide range of neurodiversity-related concerns such as ADHD and autism. Gill also works with intimacy and sexuality issues, LGBT matters including gender identity and transition, and complex relationship situations like polyamory and separation.

Practicing with sensitivity to issues such as abandonment, attachment, shame, and body image, Gill aims to create a caring, useful space for exploration and change. They welcome international clients and offer flexible ways to connect, helping clients identify practical steps and deeper insights over the course of therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Gill draws on Client-Centered therapy and Psychodynamic work to support people in online settings. Client-Centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions - it helps when someone needs acceptance, validation, and practical space to explore feelings. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and unconscious influences to understand how they shape current emotions and behaviour - it can be useful for repeated relationship difficulties, longstanding mood concerns, and understanding deeper sources of distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gill will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful for their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the therapeutic style over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Gill is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and comfort with communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or situations where in-person sessions are not practical, while maintaining continuity of care across locations and life changes.
