About Gemma
She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties. She also supports people with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related worries and issues connected to sexuality and gender. Additional areas she works with include ADHD, autism and chronic health concerns.
Gemma uses a client-centred way of working. That means conversations are focused around the person's own priorities. She listens first, then helps people find their own solutions and next steps.
In sessions she pays close attention to everyday pressures like parenting strain, work stress and caregiver burden. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, control issues, and the impact of shame, guilt or abandonment on wellbeing.
People who come to her can expect straightforward language and practical discussion. She aims to make sessions calm, clear and focused on what the individual wants to change. If you think this might be a good match, the practice asks you to start by using the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.

Client-centred care and online counselling options
Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach used. It focuses on the person's own experience and goals. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people discover the changes they want to make. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.Gemma uses this collaborative frame to decide what will help most. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they choose the style and pace of work rather than following a fixed plan.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school or caring duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid the need to travel. Many people find it simpler to maintain a regular schedule when sessions fit into their day more easily.
