Gayle ShinglerNCPS

Gayle Shingler is a counsellor with three years' professional experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred approach and adapts other methods when they will help. Gayle aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She has worked with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her experience includes supporting teenagers and young adults and responding to domestic abuse situations. Gayle tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

Gayle is registered with NCPS, which she uses as her listed credential. She emphasises gentle support and practical steps that people can try between sessions. The focus is on building everyday coping skills and clearer thinking rather than only talking about problems.

Sessions aim to help people manage life changes such as parenting, career shifts and bereavement. Gayle also addresses issues like addictions, bipolar and ADHD by helping clients break large problems into smaller, manageable steps. The work often combines empathy with straightforward strategies so progress feels realistic and steady.

People meet Gayle to sort out immediate worries and to plan for longer-term wellbeing. She encourages clients to set simple goals and to review what is working. If a different method seems more useful, she will bring that into the sessions with the client's agreement.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Gayle describes a person-centred way of working which puts the client's concerns and goals at the centre of each session. This approach involves active listening, reflecting back what the client says, and helping people decide the next steps they want to try. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where people need space to make sense of difficult experiences.

She also draws on other evidence-based techniques when helpful, such as practical coping strategies to manage stress and short-term tools for building confidence. These methods break larger problems into clear, doable tasks and help clients practise new skills between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative way of working helps keep therapy relevant and focused.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Gayle aims to make sessions practical and to help clients apply what they discuss to everyday routines.
