About Gail
Counsellor Gail Adeniyi is a BACP member with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports those affected by domestic abuse and related issues such as attachment and communication problems.
Gail meets people where they are and uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels hard right now. She says she has personal experience of engaging in therapy herself, so she understands how hard the first steps can feel. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and to make small changes day to day.
Her work pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating, such as avoidance, control issues or unhelpful thinking. She will talk through what is getting in the way of better relationships and clearer communication. The goal is to build skills that help with emotion regulation, decision making and moving through life changes.
Gail adapts the pace to each person. Some people prefer short-term focused work on a specific problem. Others want longer conversations to look back at how past experiences affect current feelings. She explains options and helps decide the next step together.
Sessions are conducted in English. For anyone considering a first appointment she asks that they complete an online matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to discuss needs and expectations.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Gail describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address current problems and patterns. One common focus is working on unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this involves noticing repeated reactions and trying small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety and low mood. Another strand is relationship-focused work that looks at communication styles and attachment issues to improve how people relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gail will explore a person's needs, goals and preferences and recommend ways of working together. That decision is made jointly, with options discussed during the first sessions so goals and methods feel clear.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone sessions where video is not wanted. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote sessions that help people keep continuity of care and work on practical skills between meetings.
