About Gillian
Counselling & Resolution ~ Solutions for Relationships and Well-being
Gillian understands that at some point in our lives we all experience suffering, stress, or conflict — and believes it is how we learn to respond that truly matters.
A compassionate, trauma-informed counsellor, she is dedicated to helping people navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and heal from past hurts. Gillian supports individuals, partners, couples, and families with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
Approach
Gillian’s approach is person-centred — you begin where you are, and together you work toward your goals in a way that feels safe, collaborative, and supportive. She brings an empathetic, grounded presence that encourages creative solutions and helps move relationships forward. Gillian values lifestyle, balance, and the many ways people restore their own sense of well-being.
Relationships & Well Being
Gillian has a special interest in relational healing, helping clients improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict with care. Whether you are seeking personal growth, emotional relief, or support with complex relational situations, she offers a calm, non-judgmental space where you can be heard, understood, and supported.
Conflict Resolution
In addition to being a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Gillian is a professional Mediator with over 20 years of experience assisting people in resolving conflicts. She spent more than a decade providing family mediation services and, since 2016, has integrated her mediation background into her counselling practice. Her blended, collaborative approach includes emotional support, communication guidance, and conflict resolution skills to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
