Gill is a professional and personable counsellor who took time to really understand my situation, and me!
I was able to explore my past experiences and mindset which strengthened my self-awareness and gave me better self-understanding. Thanks, Gill, for a valuable and impactful few months which will help me far into the future.
I initially came to see Gill due to feeling anxious and stuck about my career. She helped me to explore and address those feelings in a safe and understanding environment, and provided perceptive insights and prompts to help me get unstuck and move forward.
I want to thank you for helping me take those first steps in my journey and for reminding me that putting myself first is not selfish and is exactly what has been needed in order to make these life changing decisions. The thing I feared the most has ironically been the most liberating and positive thing I could have ever done for myself.
Relaxed atmosphere, therapeutic. Whilst I embraced the opportunity, I was a little apprehensive, this was soon alleviated following introductions. Cliché, but the journey was the most useful! Time to think and challenge. Someone to listen and dare I say it...not feel “silly
We all have those times in our life when things get on top of us. We feel overwhelmed and maybe unable to cope. We can feel stuck, trapped and that there’s no way forward.
My intention is to provide you with that safe, supportive space and much needed time to help you get a fresh perspective on what is troubling, and to help you to find new ways of dealing with whatever it is that life’s throwing at you right now.
What is it for?
I specialise in offering counselling and psychotherapy for;
Above all, your time with me can be a sort of mental-spa. A time to focus on JUST YOU.
How long does it take?
Each session is an hour, whether we’re working face to face or online. In our first session we will explore what has brought you to counselling and we can agree what it is that you would like to gain from our time together. I suggest that all clients attend a minimum of six sessions initially, and we can review progress to agree whether you want further support.
I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their Standards and Ethical Framework.
Where do I work?
My practice is based in Baildon, Shipley where I have a private therapy room at my home and I’m easily accessible via train or bus.
I also work nationally and international online or via telephone, for those people who can’t visit face to face.
What’s the first step?
Get in touch via phone or email and we can arrange an initial, free 15 minute consultation to discuss what you want to focus on. You can contact me via the link below or email me at gill@gillparkin.com
I aim to reply to all enquiries within 48 hours.
