About Gayle
Gayle Johnston is a BACP-registered Humanistic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Gayle uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on listening and reflecting rather than telling people what to do.
Gayle offers a reflective setting where clients can talk through their feelings and experiences at a pace that suits them. She aims to help people understand their thoughts and emotions more clearly. Sessions are conversational and guided by what the client brings to the room.
People come for many reasons - some have a specific issue in mind, others want general support. Gayle helps people look at patterns from family of origin, attachment and relationship difficulties, and practical matters such as communication, commitment and separation. She also works with concerns around body image, ageing and fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.
Her client-centred approach concentrates on hearing the person's perspective and reflecting it back to deepen self-understanding. This can help when coping with change, processing grief, or addressing the effects of past abuse and trauma. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what matters most to them.
Sessions are provided in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details such as cost and scheduling.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and reflecting it back. It helps people who are dealing with grief, anxiety, stress or the aftermath of trauma by prioritising the client's perspective and pace. Sessions are conversational and aim to increase self-understanding rather than teaching specific techniques.Gayle's Humanistic approach emphasises the individual's own goals and timing. She will work collaboratively to identify which aspects of her approach fit best with the client's concerns and preferences. Finding the right way of working is treated as a shared process, and adjustments are made as the client notices what helps.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around work and family life, reducing travel time, and allowing people to join from wherever they are based in the United Kingdom. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find that remote appointments make it easier to schedule regular check-ins and keep continuity between meetings.
