Gillian McGowan

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello, I’m Gillian. I’ve worked in mental health for over 20 years, the last 8 as a counsellor and clinical supervisor.

I specialise in working in self belief including narratives created in childhood, understanding messaging we may have received from caregivers and how that affects how we live now. I also work in relationships including family dynamics, divorce, affairs, marriage, conflict with family or friendship groups, break ups, communication, attachment styles etc. I work with individuals only – I do not offer couples therapy.

You’ll find me warm, open, flexible, relaxed and completely non-judgemental. My main aim is to create an accepting space where we can explore anything you wish to share.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes – online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional face-to-face sessions for most people. One major advantage is practical flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best – by video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging – which makes it simpler to fit appointments into a busy life. Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed it is usually possible to switch to another therapist at any time. This approach can make consistent therapeutic work more accessible and easier to sustain over time.
