Gill Fennings-Monkman MBE

Therapeutic Coaching services are available face to face in St Albans or via zoom across the UK and Europe 

I am a BACP Accredited, Integrative Therapeutic Coach, Psychotherapist and Supervisor, living and working in St Albans. With 24 years’ professional experience, I have developed an effective way of working using a wide range of approaches, tools and evidence based techniques to assist my clients towards their goals, which may be:

Career or business related issues

Personal growth and well being

Relational, individual or couple work

Clearing trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Reduction of stress and burnout

Improved work life balance

I specialise in EMDR, CBT, EFT, Mindfulness, Humanistic, Gestalt, Existential, Client Centred and Solution Focused approaches, to assist you in the achievement of your therapeutic goals and intentions.

As a Therapeutic Coach and Psychotherapist, I combine a variety of approaches to create a way of helping my clients tackle their difficulties on their own terms and that bring about desired or necessary change faster. I have worked with 1000's of clients to successfully achieve their goals. I believe that our mind is not our enemy, it is our best tool and that even the most difficult situations, experiences and challenges in work or life, can be managed or overcome. Coaching and Therapy simply accelerate and embed that change for good.

I will look forward to hearing from you to arrange an initial consultation.

I also specialise in EMDR intensive work for individuals

EMDR is an 8 stage protocol that tackles all levels of negative experience, trauma or PTSD. It is used all over the world to resolve levels of past distress, safely and effectively. Once the trauma to be worked on is identified, EMDR is best done in intensive half or one day interventions, which may resolve past trauma or experience, quickly and effectively.

Confidential business client testimonial:

“I found EMDR with Gill to be a transformative, calming, intense therapeutic treatment opening up a fluid style of re-engagement and free expression. The process respects the impact of past trauma, acknowledges and challenges the emotional distress caused, ultimately helping to re-appraise and minimize its influence.

I would highly recommend this wonderful treatment to anyone who is suffering with unresolved emotional distress from their past and who is looking to move forward and elevate their well-being and strengthen their sense of self”.

At an initial consultation, we will determine together, a way forward to resolve your issues and there is no issue that EMDR will not help, personal or professional.

Therapeutic Couple Coaching

I work face-to-face with couples looking to overcome relational or family challenges and move towards greater closeness and unity. Together we can safely explore whether desired change is possible and work to create that change or safely, kindly and effectively, uncouple.

Couple Coaching is powerful as it addresses directly what has gone wrong in the relationship and enables progress.

Couple EMDR can be utilised to enable the clearance of past or present relational trauma. It can also enable bad memories or experiences to simple become memories, removing any personal triggers in the present. The goal is to clear the ‘baggage’ of the past and create a new and better way of relating together for a positive future.

I am currently working on zoom and can take coaching and therapy supervisees from anywhere in the UK and Europe

I work with Professional Coaches and Integrative Therapists who wish to maintain professional excellence and grow their private practice. 

I have 24 years experience of delivering a range of therapeutic services full-time. Including supervision. Having taught Counselling and Coaching at Diploma, Degree and Post Grad Level.

I will bring all my knowledge and experience to help you sustain and thrive as a practitioner, both with your clients and in your business, whilst ensuring that the services you deliver to your clients, comply with the ethical requirements. 

Logistics need not be a barrier as I work via secure online platforms or telephone if logistics preclude face to face meetings.
