Hi, I’m Gail, a warm hearted, down-to-earth person-centred counsellor, clinical supervisor, tutor, coach and holistic practitioner.

Life can be complex and challenging at times, and I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help from someone you don’t know. That’s why I offer a free initial consultation, so we can say hello before making any decision to work together

My aim is to offer a safe and welcoming space for you to openly explore your thoughts and feelings, without judgement.

Through previous work roles, particularly in workforce development, skills and employability and coaching, I came to realise that my passion is working with people, supporting their growth and development.

This insight prompted me to retrain as a counsellor, a path that complemented my existing coaching skills and enabled me to return to what I valued most: building meaningful connections with people and supporting their personal development.

Since then, I have undertaken additional qualifications, to support my Counselling and Coaching offer, including Counselling Supervision and Reiki Practitioner.

Across these disciplines, I work primarily in a Person-Centred way, and my core beliefs centre on the idea that every individual possesses the innate capacity to grow, develop, and change, that everyone should have the chance to become the best version of themselves possible.

I also recognise that this journey is seldom straightforward. Life often presents us with complex and challenging issues that we must navigate before growth can take place.

There may be occasions when the process feels difficult. During these times, I might gently challenge certain beliefs or perceptions that have developed over many years. This will always be approached with empathy and understanding, with the intention of empowering you to make decisions about your own future.

For this reason, I believe it is essential to have a supportive environment, a space where you feel secure enough to openly discuss your thoughts and feelings. It is important to have someone you trust, who will listen without judgement, and who can offer understanding as you work through your difficulties. I aim to provide this for you.

I have previously worked for several charities across West Yorkshire, supporting clients facing a range of challenges and am a tutor at a local college, where I teach a variety of counselling courses.

My professional experience also includes coaching staff at different levels within organisations, helping them to achieve their goals both in a business context and on a personal level. I am skilled in designing and delivering workshops and training programmes, working with local businesses to create bespoke solutions that address their specific needs.
