About Gayle
Gayle Wilde supports people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and sexuality concerns. She helps those facing relationship strain, life changes and issues related to LGBT identity. Gayle also focuses on attachment and abandonment worries, first responder strain, chronic illness and pain, guilt and shame, and self-harm thoughts.
Gayle sees the person rather than the problem. She believes people hold strengths that can help them through hard times.
How Gayle works
Sessions move at a person’s pace and aim to make things feel more manageable week to week. Her manner is calm and non-judgemental. Over seven years Gayle has worked in suicide intervention and prevention, and has experience supporting people bereaved by suicide.
She also has practical experience helping people build confidence, manage motivation, and reduce social anxiety and phobic responses. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Client-centred choices put the person’s goals first, and psychodynamic thinking explores patterns that repeat over time.
Mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques can be used to support relaxation and reduce distress. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Gayle works from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled through the platform.

How Gayle's approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and trust. In sessions this can mean talking about patterns that repeat and trying new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.Client-centred practice puts the person's views and goals at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what matters most, so the direction of therapy is guided by the individual's priorities.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple, practical ways to calm the body and notice thoughts without getting swept away. These exercises can help with anxiety, stress and managing difficult emotions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gayle will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility issues and help maintain continuity between appointments.
