About me

I first qualified in 1993, and in 2000 I set up The Coleby Centre, which is a private therapy and counselling centre in Sidcup where different therapists run their practices. The centre is set up to be a welcoming, trusting and safe space. It is important to me that the environment helps you to begin to relax and feel more at ease to reflect on some of your more difficult thoughts and feelings.

Over the last 20 years I have gained much experience working as a therapist of individuals and couples in private practice, and also working extensively in the Corporate Sector running and developing a graduate leadership development training and coaching programme. I am a qualified supervisor and have recently been facilitating training workshops for counsellors and psychotherapists.

I have been practicing as a hypnotherapist since 1993 and as a psychotherapist since 1997, as a trainer since 2006, supervisor since 2010.

I am currently completing my practitioner qualification in EMDR and am very much enjoying using these powerful tools in my work.

I adhere to the UKCP ethical framework, take regular supervision and continue with my own personal and professional development.

Gill says:

"I believe therapy is all about empowering you to make choices and finding ways to change those things that can feel impossible and overwhelming. There are many dynamic therapies, tools and techniques that can help people change – but for the change to become a new habit and happen naturally they need to be integrated inside and this is why the therapeutic relationship is so important. Feeling the genuine warmth and regard of another human, being heard and supported in a confidential space is the glue that binds the change so that you can live your life in the best possible way."
