About Gail
Gail Rickaby is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. Gail also supports those dealing with self-esteem, motivation and confidence problems.
She keeps the work straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on talking through what is getting in the way, spotting patterns, and trying small changes that can ease daily life. Gail draws on approaches that look at attachment, personal resources, and trauma responses to make sense of current difficulties.
Gail commonly helps people coping with grief, intimacy-related questions, career stress and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, infidelity and isolation. Where process addictions, panic attacks or post-traumatic stress are involved, she will work through the immediate impacts and coping strategies.
Her stated ways of working include client-centred conversations and solution-focused steps alongside trauma-informed techniques. That mix is intended to notice how early relationships affect present reactions and to build practical steps for calmer responses. Gail describes counselling as a place to find clearer choices and small, workable adjustments.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button. Sessions are offered in English and Gail does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How Gail uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people see why certain situations trigger strong anger or defensive responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It supports clearer thinking and lets the person set the pace and topics for each session.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gail will talk with the client about their goals, what feels most useful, and which methods suit their situation. That conversation is collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or choose a simpler audio connection depending on what suits day-to-day life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as attachment-based and solution-focused work to online sessions to focus on practical changes and clearer emotional responses.
