About Gemma
She has worked with children, young people and adults, supporting a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, depression, family conflict, bereavement, trauma and various forms of abuse.
Gemma believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to face and overcome challenging circumstances. She recognises that taking the first step into therapy can be daunting and aims to honour that courage while providing steady, compassionate support.
Her practice is predominantly person-centered, offering a non-judgmental, client-led space, and she draws on additional therapeutic methods and practical tools in an integrative way when this enhances the work. Gemma communicates through video, telephone and chat, and she regularly and actively responds to messages. She looks forward to meeting people seeking support and helping them take the next steps in their journey.
Therapeutic approaches for effective online support
Gemma draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, accepting space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions; this approach helps people exploring identity, relationships and emotional concerns to feel heard and understood. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or eating. Attachment-Based Therapy is employed to explore patterns in relationships and early experiences that influence current connection and intimacy challenges, supporting work around trauma, abandonment or attachment issues.
Determining the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gemma works with clients to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, adapting methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Gemma is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living at a distance. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain momentum between meetings and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
