Gillian Trueman, BACP

Gillian Trueman is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience, offering empathetic, individualized support for people facing a range of challenges. She holds an MSc in Pluralistic Counselling from Abertay University, a postgraduate master's degree in counselling approaches, and has the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

She works in a multidisciplinary, pluralistic way, tailoring therapeutic methods to each person rather than using a single rigid model. Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. This range allows her to adapt interventions to suit issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, eating concerns, anger, and family problems.

Gillian offers trauma-informed practice and has substantial experience working with trauma and post-traumatic stress. She describes her work as neurodiversity-friendly, and she has ASIST training. She is also kink-aware and can provide talking therapy alone or combine talking therapy with broader holistic approaches when appropriate. Additional focus areas include communication problems, domestic violence, fertility issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, paranoia and phobias, postpartum depression, process addictions, self-harm, and cultivating self-love.

Clients work collaboratively with Gillian to define and pursue clear therapeutic goals, whether that involves navigating difficult relationships, understanding recurring patterns of behaviour, managing anxiety, or addressing work-related stress. She is accepting new clients and works with individuals both in the UK and internationally, delivering services in English.
