Creative Psychotherapy that enables people to thrive.

Hello, I’m Gemma. My approach is rooted in the belief that our earliest experiences shape how we see ourselves and how we are in relationship with ourselves, others and the world around us. When we start to meet our past and present selves with compassion, curiosity and understanding, healing can begin.

Through a warm, collaborative and compassionate approach that combines reflective conversation with creative expression, I offer a safe space to reconnect with parts of yourself that perhaps, out of necessity, had to be buried or annexed but are now ready to be seen and held. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, rediscover your inner wisdom and resilience so that you can create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

I am also a queer psychotherapist, and I welcome clients from all sexual orientations and gender identities. For some people, working with a therapist who has a personal understanding of the LGBTQ+ experience is important; for others, it may simply be a part of who I am as a therapist.

If any of this resonates with what you are experiencing, please feel free to get in touch. I offer a free initial conversation so you can tell me about what is happening for you right now and ask any questions you have about a creative approach to psychotherapy and counselling.

Alongside working with adults, I offer creative psychotherapy to adolescents and children. If you would like to find out more about this, please click here.

Finding your way back to yourself…

Is she there?

That fiery, resilient one who moulded herself so she would be lovable.

Is he there?

The creative, imaginative one who was worn down and told to comply.

Are they there?

That wild flowing one who was told they were too much, too loud or too sensitive.

Is it you?

That free-spirited, carefree one who learnt to protect everyone else whilst fearing the world.

Ah…There you are.

Welcome back.
