Gillian Overton , NCPS

Gillian Overton is credentialed in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns. Her practice addresses stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, sleep problems, parenting and caregiver stress, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and other life transitions. She also works with issues related to attachment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, dissociation, panic and post-traumatic stress, and concerns common to young adults and midlife.

Gillian combines formal therapeutic training with substantial life experience gained from extensive travel and many years living overseas, primarily in North America. Before training as a therapist, she worked in the diplomatic service, the financial sector, and as a special education teacher. Those roles inform her practical, empathetic approach when she meets clients where they are.

She holds the NCPS credential, presented here as a recognised professional credential in the UK. In sessions she aims to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. Gillian emphasises the therapeutic relationship as central to change and listens attentively with the goal of helping clients develop tools and clarity to move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Gillian Overton

Gillian commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and helps clients understand and reshape how they connect with others, which can support work on relationships, family issues, and attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Gillian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need for travel, and they allow therapy to fit into varied daily routines and time zones.
