Gill Ormsby , BACP

Gill Ormsby is a queer, non-binary therapist who is integratively trained and BACP accredited - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that reflects professional standards in the UK. They offer both short- and long-term therapy to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients, working in ways that adapt to individual needs and preferences.

Gill creates a warm, nonjudgmental space for exploring concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship and family difficulties, health-related worries, or times when getting out of bed feels especially hard. Their approach aims to be both caring and practical so discussions can move toward clarity and manageable change.

They have clinical experience across a wide range of issues, including abuse and addiction, bipolar disorder, grief and end-of-life concerns, disordered eating, domestic abuse and estrangement, neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD, panic, personality disorders including EUPD/BPD and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, PTSD and C-PTSD, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, sleep and stress problems, and sexual and intimacy concerns. Gill is also experienced with relationship challenges including breakups, divorce, polyamory and ethical nonmonogamy, and with matters of gender identity and sexuality.

Gill has particular experience supporting people in the LGBTQIA+ community and holds a clear stance against conversion approaches to sexuality or gender. They blend several therapeutic models to meet each person's goals, and they accept clients both in the UK and internationally.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gill draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic Therapy to tailor online work to each person's situation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth - it can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship concerns. Internal Family Systems explores the different parts that make up a person's internal experience, helping to understand conflicting feelings, protectors, and wounded parts; this can be useful for trauma, self-criticism, and identity struggles. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and unconscious influences that shape feelings and relationships, offering insight into long-standing difficulties and repeated cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gill works collaboratively to identify methods that match each person's goals, preferences, and needs. They adapt techniques over time and involve clients in decisions about direction and pace.

Online therapy with Gill can be arranged by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from the UK and abroad and to continue consistent support during life transitions or when in-person sessions are not possible.
