Bespoke Depth Therapy
Dr Gill is open to discussions of spirituality, given that the Greek definition of Psychology, equates to 'study of the psyche or the soul', and research shows that we all have an innate capacity for making sense of this aspect of life which drives our need for meaning and purpose in life. The aim of Your Psychology Journey is to provide a bespoke therapy that is tailored to meet your deepest individual wounds, needs and goals, so you can develop core strategies to help facilitate a future where you are free to explore the rest of your journey in a way that is less hindered by hurt.
The aim is to provide a compassionate and safe space, within a trusted therapeutic relationship at the centre of our work, to support you via holistic perspectives, methods and processes with which you can connect and grow, from wherever you are at, at this point in time, to achieve rich and meaningful outcomes personalised just for you on your healing journey. This perspective is informed by Dr Gill's own unimaginable journey of profound experiential pain, reflexivity, change and growth through navigating complex attachment networks and disenfranchising discourses informed by deep-rooted systemic structures towards a flourishing and functioning path albeit times of deep anguish, doubt and changes in faith perspectives.
Standards of Quality and Assurance in Practice
Dr Gill is a grade member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS) which in the field of Psychology is considered to be, "a marker of quality and high standards. When consulting an APS Member the public can be assured they are working with a reliable and dependable practitioner".
She has experience of supporting people with various psychological presentations in diverse clinical and mental health settings for over 20 years. She is experienced in supporting adults individually and in groups, with moderate to severe through to chronic and more complex mental health and psycho-social needs.
Dr Gill has worked in an array of Public and Private Practices, including a GP Surgery, and various Residential Care Homes and Hospitals for Adults, Children and Adolescents, including A 'Looked After' Children's Home, a London University, NHS Psychiatric Inpatient Facilities, and Specialist Outpatient Neuropsychology, Eating Disorder, Learning Disability, Older Adult, Dementia, Stroke, Forensic and HIV Services. She has vast experience in working as a General Psychologist with diverse mental health and psychosocial difficulties ranging from anxiety, depression and PTSD through to personality, emotion dysregulation, neuro-diverse developmental and impulse disorders, as well as relational and cultural stress.
With a belief in accessibility and convenience in therapy Dr Gill offers Telepsychology to adults across Australia's remote landscape. Such an approach is now considered a quality-approved standard of care, by the American Psychological Society and the Australian Medical Board, given it's support of substantial evidence showing it to be as effective as in-person treatment for many mental health conditions, indicative of improved therapeutic relations and outcomes.
Authentic and Integrative Approach
A unique aspect of Dr Gill's UK training was engaging in her own psychotherapy throughout her professional preparation in this role (a unique grounding), which helped develop a quality for sensitivity and insight within the therapeutic relationship that is not often expected within the Australian training milieu. As such she can offer nuanced layers of understanding, authenticity and warmth in therapy. Dr Gill has also conducted Doctoral level Psychological Research in Oxford, London and Northern England Universities as well as having a background in more pure Scientific experimental research, including gene therapy which she has now moved far away from.
Dr Gill's Integrative approach tends to both these organic and rigorous aspects of psychotherapy by placing the therapeutic relationship at the centre of an Evidence-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework underpinned by dynamic therapeutic principles including person-centred, interpersonal and transpersonal practice which draws from a range of holistic, fundamental and integral principles, as well as psychotherapy traditions, including as may be necessary, psychodynamic, existential and humanistic as well as contemporary third-wave cognitive and behavioural orientations, including but not limited to schema, dialectical, motivational, exposure, meta-cognitive, mindful, acceptance and commitment, as well as emotion, strengths, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, solution, somatic and compassion-focused principles of therapy.
Attachment, Culture-sensitive, Neuro-diverse, and Trauma-Informed Strengths Base
Dr Gill's collaborative approach espouses the inherent principles of trauma-informed care by creating a safe space to talk about experiences of pain and support your sense of autonomy and empowerment with an emphasis on choice and control in working towards your goals in the context of cultural restraints and supports which shape your understanding.
Psychoeducational and interventionist strategies are used within a focus on strengths, resilience and values framework, to support your needs and empower your preferences in line with psychologically focused treatment plans to create a roadmap to recovery so you can start to live a fuller life, with hope around change, and respect for your individual way of understanding and communicating (including room for humour in sessions if appropriate👀). Her aim is to offer you a therapeutic experience that is transformative.
Process and Outcome Focus
Outcome measures are used to help monitor progress alongside feedback of processes in therapy, to support an ethical, accountable and governance based framework with your best interests in mind.
