Counsell uses a multitude of media such as 16mm film, drawing, printed matter, sculpture and sound for context.

She created works in disused buildings and gallery installations creating "new psychological environments through intense manipulation of time and space, architecture and object."

Counsell's recent works were on "new psychological environments through intense manipulation of time and space, architecture and object."

Caroline Smith of Women's Art Magazine wrote that Counsell's works "has a maturity which surpasses much contemporary installation work, where concepts become lost in the environment and meanings are muddled or over-worked, sledgehammer-style."

Smith also noted that the artist "opened herself to the increase of fast, shiny media language, art which addresses a mish-mash of cultures, signs and symbols, out of which have been born more global codes of understanding."

Artforum 's Michael Corris noted her appeal was "in its capacity to debunk a viewer's preconceived expectations of art" and the success was down to the "possibility of constructing a convincing rebuttal to our art-perceiving expectations."
