Kirmal Gill , BACP

Kirmal Gill is a psychotherapist who uses an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person. She draws on ideas from person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, and psychodynamic ways of working. Her style is calm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps as well as understanding feelings.

She helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety and those facing addictive behaviours. She also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, relationship issues and family-related worries. Kirmal works with a wider range of concerns including body image, fertility and end-of-life matters.

With three years of practice and over 100 hours of face-to-face and online counselling, she has experience in short-term and ongoing work. Her training in psychology underpins how she thinks about patterns of behaviour and emotion. She uses that background to make sessions clear and useful.

Sessions are offered in English and Kirmal accepts international clients. Meetings can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. This gives people different ways to connect depending on what fits their day.

People starting therapy are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Kirmal aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult topics and build practical ways to cope.

Approaches and how online sessions work

Kirmal offers an integrative mix that brings together person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship to help people open up and feel understood. Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduce straightforward strategies to change those patterns. Psychodynamic ideas help explore repeating relationship patterns and where difficult feelings may come from.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods to suit each person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when you want visual contact. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break in a busy day or work better where bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around everyday life and practical commitments.
