Hello, my name's Gill Ormsby. I'm an integratively trained, queer therapist who offers both short- and long-term sessions to my UK and Europe clients.

I am based in Auckland for a couple of months. I am offering therapy to those in that timezone during April-May-June.

Whether it's anxiety, low mood, a relationship or family issue, a health concern - or if you just don't want to get out of bed in the morning, I offer a space to talk about what's troubling you in a friendly, caring and useful way.

I have experience including but not limited to:

Abuse, addiction, anxiety, bipolar disorder, breakups and divorce, childhood experiences, death/end of life care, depression/low mood, depression, disordered eating (binge-eating, food restriction, orthorexia, anorexia), domestic abuse, estrangement, financial worries, friendship and relationship issues, gender identity/transition, insecure housing, intimacy, loneliness/isolation, menopause, obsession, neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, OCD), panic, personality disorders including Bipolar Disorder and EUPD/BPD, relationships, self-harm, sexuality, sleep issues, stress, suicidal thoughts, trauma... the list goes on.

I have particular experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I am anti-conversion therapy for both sexuality and gender identity. I believe and trust my clients' varied experiences of the world and themselves.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
