About me
Hello and welcome! My name is Anthony Gillard and I'm a fully qualified trauma-informed integrative counsellor. I'm registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practice according to their ethics and guidelines. I've been working as a counsellor since 2023, but have been on this journey since 2017. I have a natural drive to support and understand people, and empathise with their experiences. If you feel I may be the right counsellor for you, feel free to reach out to me.
Experience:

- 2+ years as a Student Counsellor within a college providing one-to-one counselling for students who are going through difficult and challenging times. Whether it's relationships, anxiety, family issues, academic stress, or life stress, I can support with these issues.
