I am particularly interested in both depression and anxiety and am very familiar with both traditional and the newer third wave therapies including compassion focused therapy and mindfulness.
I really enjoy the challenge of helping people with their distress and difficulties. It is really rewarding to see someone make progress and learn to manage their difficulties and regain their health and coping ability.
I look forward with my colleagues to offering you a highly professional and effective service to meet your needs and help you overcome your difficulties.

I didn't know how much CBT would help me, but I thought I would give it a try, and I'm glad I did! I soon gained confidence in Gillian, she helped me put a few things into perspective, and helped me feel empowered to help myself. I was surprised how quickly I began to feel much better. Thank you.

I have OCD, I will always have OCD, But thanks to my therapist Michael Bates I now know how to handle it. Michael has helped me enormously. I have placed my trust in him and my trust has been rewarded. His experience ,intelligence, intuition , and knowledge far exceed other people I have consulted. I would highly recommend him.

Right from the outset I felt comfortable with Gillian, I felt she listened to me and I did not feel judged. She taught me some techniques and strategies which I was able to apply in-between sessions, this really made a difference, I was able to return to work much sooner than I'd anticipated.
