More about Gayle

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hello, I’m Gayle, a UK qualified and BACP registered Humanistic Counsellor. ​​

I offer a reflective space where we can explore your emotions and experiences together.​​

Some people come to counselling knowing exactly what they want to address, while others simply know they could use some support. Both can be challenging, but whatever you need, you are not alone.

​​

We can explore what's on your mind at a pace that feels right for you, in a safe environment where you can feel truly heard.​

​This will help you to understand yourself better and move towards a place of greater peace and well-being.​​​​​​​​​

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
