About Gurpreet
Gurpreet Gill is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and mood difficulties such as bipolar. She also supports people affected by trauma, abuse and anger, and those working on self-esteem concerns.
Gurpreet uses straightforward, person-centred work. Sessions aim to give space to talk through painful experiences and to notice what matters most to the client.
How Gurpreet works
She places emphasis on building trust so people feel understood before moving on to practical steps. Her background includes approaches that combine thinking, feeling and behaviour. Cognitive work helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports valued action and living with difficult thoughts rather than getting stuck in them. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns that began in close relationships and continue to affect current connections. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools can be introduced for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance.
Gurpreet also attends to related worries such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, eating-related issues and difficulties linked to family of origin. She works in a calm, down-to-earth way and aims to create sessions that fit each person's pace. If someone is unsure where to start, she helps clarify goals and breaks work into small, practical steps.
The focus is on steady progress rather than sudden fixes.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters to them and then take small steps towards those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and ongoing stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and supports their self-discovery. This approach helps people who need to feel heard and understood before making changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then try methods that fit the person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback indicate what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical benefits. Video sessions let you see facial cues and hold a closer conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break at work. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, reflective writing or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to attend sessions around work, family and other commitments while working with a registered or accredited professional.
