Gail is amazing, i’ve had a number of therapists over the years and Gail has certainly been the best fit for me by far. She is kind and compassionate but doesn’t sugarcoat things which is exactly what I’ve always needed. She is responsive, and is strategic about moving forward, and always gives incredible insights. I feel as though she can read me like a book sometimes! Highly highly recommend.

I think Gail is understanding, a beautiful soul, she knows how to bond more than any therapist would, she listens and allows time for me to think by relating similar experiences of her own, we’ve only had a couple of sessions and I already feel incredibly comfortable with her

Best therapist in the world, I love her to death
Written on Oct 10, 2024 after therapy with Gail for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
I went to Gail as she specialises in trauma. I can't thank her enough for making me understand my feelings and how I've been acting day to day to find coping mechanisms and new ways of thinking. Always kind, she is even happy to respond to a message outside of our videos calls if I have something urgent I need to discuss. I am a more stable, self aware person due to her help. And have actually started seeing positive changes in my life.

Gail Rickaby is a wonderfull therapist. She helped me understand roots of many of my issues. I understood a lot of things about myself that I didn't understand earlier. For the first time in more than ten years I see a path, I see opportunities, instead of everyday routine.
I strongly recomend this therapist

Gail has been amazing from the first second we met. She's warm and friendly and clearly keen to find out exactly what it is I'd like to talk about, work on or discuss with her. She's offered great advice and explained so many things so simply and easily for me to help me with areas of myself I'm looking to improve or understand.

I only had two therapy sessions so far, but I feel very safe, respected and also much better about my self after every session. She listens and gives good advise and makes my mind think in a different way. She responds to messages very quick and sends worksheets/podcasts to listen to to work on in between sessions. I‘m looking forward going my journey to feel better about/with myself with Gail.

I've been working with Gail for a few months, and I'm thankful for it. She is kind, understanding, and professional. After having a traumatic experience with another therapist, I'm happy I found Gail. In my first session, I could already tell this experience was different. Gail's energy made me so comfortable in talking about my problems that I didn't have any hesitation or struggle to open up about my problems. I've improved and learned much about myself in those last months. I recommend Gail if you're looking for an honest, kind, and professional therapist.
