About Gayle
Gayle Shingler is a UK counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence issues. Gayle has particular experience supporting young adults and teenagers through life transitions and relationship difficulties.
She uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of her work. That means conversations focus on the client’s experience and what matters to them. Gayle also draws on other evidence-based techniques when a client’s situation suggests a different method would help.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Gayle helps people break down overwhelming problems into steps they can manage. She talks through coping strategies, ways to rebuild confidence, and how to handle setbacks without jargon or pressure.
Her experience includes work with domestic abuse, grief, addictions and issues around attachment and family separation. She also supports people dealing with career stress, parenting strain, ADHD and bipolar challenges, helping them process events and plan next steps.
Gayle welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. This helps clarify immediate concerns and how she might help in the first few meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Gayle works primarily from a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening closely to the client and building sessions around what they say matters most. This approach is useful for young adults feeling unsure about next steps, or who need a calm space to sort out priorities.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques as needed. These techniques provide structured ways to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or stress by developing practical coping skills and clearer ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gayle will discuss options with each person and help choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and everyday life. That may mean keeping the person-centred core while introducing targeted strategies over time.
