About Gail

Gail Adeniyi works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression, and those coping with major life changes. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience.

Gail offers a calm, steady approach where she listens and talks things through with each person. She recognises how hard it can feel to ask for help because she has taken part in her own therapy and knows it can feel vulnerable at first. Sessions focus on practical conversation and exploring what is getting in the way of feeling better.

Clients come with a range of issues including abandonment and attachment concerns, avoidant personality traits, communication and control problems, and the effects of divorce or separation. She also supports people affected by domestic violence, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, isolation, jealousy, or questions about life purpose.

Work may look at managing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and improving everyday coping skills. Gail uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and build clearer communication.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Gail will discuss goals and preferences at the start and check in about progress as therapy continues. People are encouraged to decide on the pace and focus that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Gail uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and trying practical alternatives. One common technique involves helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday experience, which can reduce worry and low mood. Another approach focuses on relationship and attachment issues by exploring how past experiences affect current communication and trust, and by practising clearer ways of relating in present relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gail will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will agree together on the methods to try and review progress regularly. This means the plan can change if something is not helpful.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a short check-in between commitments, or avoiding camera use if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to offer continuity when life makes face-to-face attendance harder, and Gail will help decide what suits practical needs and therapy goals.
