About Gaynor
She centers each session on the person's experience and goals. Gaynor listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps clients build practical coping strategies. Conversations can cover family dynamics, parenting stresses, career strain, and the effects of trauma or chronic illness.
Her work draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide support around long-standing relationship patterns and how they affect trust and closeness.
Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful style. Gaynor aims for a calm space where people can talk through painful events, practice new ways of relating, and plan small steps forward. She also pays attention to identity-related concerns and supports LGBT people without judgment.
Over two decades of experience inform her practical approach to grief, stress, anger, and self-esteem issues. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short questionnaire that helps match goals and availability. From there they can schedule sessions that fit their needs.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people practice different ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust over time so the work fits the client's needs.
