About Gillian
Counsellor (BACP), 5 years' experience. Gillian Robins helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those handling attachment issues, body image, codependency and obsessive behaviours.
Gillian describes her approach as trauma-informed and influenced by the work of Dr Gabor Maté. She pays attention to how early experiences shape emotional responses. In sessions she helps people look at the reasons behind their patterns so they can consider different choices.
She says she has both personal and professional experience with limerence and understands how confusing and consuming it can feel. Gillian talks things through plainly and focuses on understanding what keeps a problem active as well as what might reduce it.
Sessions aim to be an open place to share thoughts and feelings without judgement. Gillian recognises that starting therapy can take courage and treats that step as worth acknowledging.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works with people in English. Practical arrangements such as session format and scheduling should be confirmed before booking. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Gillian works from a trauma-informed perspective that looks at how early life shapes present reactions. This approach involves noticing patterns that keep someone stuck and discussing practical ways to reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, panic and post-traumatic stress. She also draws on ideas influenced by Dr Gabor Maté that explore the link between emotional experience and behaviours such as addiction or compulsive actions. Those conversations focus on understanding triggers and building alternative responses rather than quick fixes. Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to test what helps, adjust methods over time and check in about progress and preferences. The aim is to choose techniques that fit the person's needs and goals. Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you plan to proceed, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide guidance on pacing and structure so sessions can be tailored to shorter check-ins, in-depth discussions or homework-based steps depending on what suits the client.Sheet 3
