About Gurpreet

Gurpreet Gill is a counsellor with seven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP, and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and mood difficulties. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, depression and low self-esteem.

Gurpreet aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about hard things. She encourages clients to name what matters to them and to take small steps towards change. Conversations are practical and grounded in day-to-day concerns rather than technical language.

Gurpreet uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help with unhelpful thoughts, patterns in relationships and painful memories. She also uses Client-Centred listening and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Sessions typically focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to be different. Work might include spotting thinking patterns, developing coping strategies, and practising new ways to relate to self and others. The pace is set by the client, with the counsellor offering options and feedback along the way.

People come for help with many difficulties beyond core concerns, including body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, substance issues, eating concerns, family of origin matters and separation. Gurpreet explains options clearly and helps clients choose practical steps they can try between sessions.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Gurpreet uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT tends to focus on practical exercises and simple tools that can be worked on between sessions, which many people find useful when juggling work and home life.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and commit to manageable actions even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety and low mood because it focuses on values and small behavioural steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to a person's goals and preferences, suggest options and try different methods to see what fits best. Clients are involved in choosing what to try and in shaping session content over time.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep continuity during busy weeks. Some approaches, like CBT and ACT, work well remotely because they use clear tasks and worksheets that can be shared and discussed during sessions.
