Gail Adeniyi

Gail Adeniyi is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with major life changes and experiences such as domestic abuse and divorce and separation. Gail writes in plain terms and aims to walk alongside clients as they work toward change.

Gail has six years of practice in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through painful feelings and confusing situations. Sessions are shaped to each person, so conversations focus on what matters most to the individual.

She knows from personal experience that starting therapy can feel vulnerable and unsettling. That experience informs her approach and how she supports people at the start of therapy. Gail aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in sessions while encouraging practical steps forward.

In practice she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, improve communication and rebuild a sense of confidence and purpose. She will work with clients on coping skills for everyday stress as well as on longer-term emotional concerns like shame, abandonment, or attachment issues.

Gail asks people to be open about their goals so sessions can be practical and relevant. She explains options and adapts the work to each person’s pace and needs, with the intent of helping them feel more like themselves over time.

Therapeutic techniques and working online

Gail describes her work as based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make sense of their feelings and take practical steps. One approach she uses focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety - learning simple strategies to manage worries day to day and to reduce overwhelm. Another strand of the work looks at attachment and relationship patterns, helping people notice how past experiences affect current relationships and try different ways of communicating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Gail talks with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so the work matches what the client hopes to change.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity between appointments and to maintain progress while balancing other commitments.
