About Gillian Burnett

Gillian Burnett is a person-centred, trauma-informed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with both adults and children. She offers online sessions that support people through a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, abuse, bereavement and loss, self-esteem difficulties, and the impact of significant life events.

Her approach is grounded in respect and nonjudgement - she guides clients through the counselling process while encouraging their own insight and agency. Practical advice is provided only when it is specifically requested and within the bounds of what she can offer in a session. The work asks for commitment and honesty from clients, and Gillian brings her own commitment, honesty and respect to the therapeutic relationship.

Gillian holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and values the opportunity to support people as they take steps toward resolving the issues that have brought them to therapy. She considers it a privilege to be part of each person’s journey.

Could Remote Therapy Suit Your Needs?

Many people ask whether working with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that fits their routine and comfort level - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular sessions.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical and effective way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work without the need to attend in-person appointments.
