For most of my professional life I have worked in the various arenas supporting families, young people and children in improving on their lifestyle and wellbeing. From this I have gained experience and knowledge from my working life.

I have previously volunteered for the Samaritans which cemented my wish to continue in a career that focuses on helping people through the most difficult times. Whilst working full time for Norfolk County Council as a Therapeutic Practitioner within the safeguarding domain, I studied to qualify as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Hypnotherapist.  I have many years of experience as a practitioner working in a residential unit, hospitals, supported housing and within the Local County Council.

Over the time I have developed various skills to assist and support adults and children with numerous issues in life. I am able to build a good rapport with the people that I support, which I find to be extremely important to gain a successful outcome to therapy. My therapeutic approach is non-judgemental, focused around empowering the client to improve their lives. I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of the client and to work alongside my client and give a service that is individual to their process of therapy. The approach will assist with reframing of thoughts, thinking and changes.

Having a space for clients to feel secure and relaxed, with an empathic environment.

I contacted GO Therapy at a really low point in my life and had no idea where to start on my road to recovery. The first thing I noticed was Gillian’s warmth, she has a true gift for helping people. I wanted a quick fix but with Gillian’s guidance and support she helped me realise that it had taken years to get so low. Going through the counselling process with Gillian has brought me perspective and acceptance. Gillian I can't thank you enough for helping me towards a stronger and happier future.

I have been working with Gilly for a little over a year, and she has really helped me to deal with a hugely stressful period of my life. Various stressful events happening in quick succession has caused my depression to return which led me to searching therapy. Gilly was recommended to me by a friend who had struggled with depression in the past and had worked with Gilly to help her deal with it. Gilly is a fantastic therapist who puts you at ease and uses some really useful techniques to help you track your progress and to realise how far you have come and the changes you are making. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone suffering with stress or depression.

Spiders have been my fear for as long as I can remember. When I see one, I cry, I can’t breathe and work myself into a panic. I could not even bring myself to stay in the same room as one. After my sessions I am now able to stay in the room without working myself up and I have even picked one up with a tissue to flush away. Finally, after 50yrs I am able to do this. I feel this is a very big achievement for me.

I’ve hated going to the dentist for years and it wouldn’t be unusual for me to have a panic attack about setting foot in the dentist’s door. It would be even worse if I was due to have any treatment. I was sceptical about seeking help through hypnotherapy but I’m glad that I did. Following a course with Gillian, I can now deal with my anxiety surrounding this issue and have since been to the dentist and had treatment too! I would have no hesitation in recommending Gillian; she listened and understood my problem and was very professional in her manner.

Having had claustrophobia since childhood, Gillian has helped me overcome this. I enjoyed my hypnotherapy sessions and found them to be so relaxing. Following treatment, I now have the strategies in place to enable me to go into confined and crowded spaces. Proof of the pudding is that I have since been able to go in a lift to the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, something I couldn’t have not before. Thank you Gillian.
