Why talking therapy with Gemma?
You deserve a space to feel safe and to be heard
With a specialised and secure webspace designed for providing therapy, I shall meet you there or in person to listen and get to the root of the problems in a way that gives you choice.
You deserve to trust in yourself, to grow & to learn
I will teach you how to recognise yourself, how you currently cope that could be maintaining the difficulties, and how to listen to your body and emotions. We typically map out the old and new ways of learning together (this map is yours) and then decide on a personalised treatment plan that is going to be the best fit for you and your hopes.
You deserve to succeed, to feel capable & be yourself
In this space with me your symptoms will not only reduce and disappear, you will explore your hopes, what you would like your recovery to look like and to finally live a life of enjoyment, happiness and space to explore your needs again with new tools to use for life!
“Gemma was very caring and understanding …around the low mood, anxiety and lack of enjoyment in my everyday life. The end result was massive improvements…those same activities don’t bring out any reaction from me- to the point that I sometimes forget that they were ever a problem”

” I had some initial sessions with Gemma for anxiety & depression. When she went private, I came back to her and had EMDR treatment. It was an extremely supportive and helpful experience, with great flexibility around my work. It helped me to find my sense of self again and gave me the tools to move forward with confidence”
