Gayle Shingler , NCPS

Gayle Shingler is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience who works from a person-centred foundation while integrating other evidence-based techniques as needed. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional designation that reflects her training and qualifications, and has focused experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Gayle has particular experience working with teenagers and young adults and with people affected by domestic abuse. Her approach emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique situation and goals. Gayle aims to create a space where taking the first step toward greater wellbeing feels manageable and supported.

Practical and outcome-focused, Gayle helps clients address a range of concerns including relationship and family dynamics, grief, parenting and career challenges, addiction, and coping with life changes. She works collaboratively to identify priorities and tailor strategies that fit individual needs, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and clearer direction as they move forward.

Person-centred and evidence-based approaches for online support

Gayle works from a person-centred stance, focusing on the individual’s own goals and experiences while offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic presence. This approach helps clients explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen inner resources, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Alongside person-centred work, Gayle uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting concern. These approaches are applied to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and other complex challenges by helping to identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and set practical steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gayle collaborates with each client to determine which techniques and pace best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, enabling clients and therapists to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
