Welcome, you may be really struggling at the moment and not sure what to do next. I’m Gemma, a passionate, and dedicated counsellor with many years of experience in social care, the charity sector, and counselling. I really want to support you in your counselling journey.

I work with adults, young adults and couples facing overwhelm, depression, identity issues, unfulfillment, struggles with anxiety, life stages, relationships, communication, trauma, grief and struggles with ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. Let me help you work towards a greater understanding of yourself and others.

l am a warm and approachable person who understands how challenging it can be to seek counselling.

I work as a trauma informed, integrative counsellor because I believe each person is unique. This means I draw on several approaches to suit your individual needs. 

I work online and out of my town office in Bedford for face to face sessions.

I offer counselling for individuals and couples, either face-to-face from my private practice in Bedford or online, so I can support people across the country.

If you’re struggling with:

- Anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem 

- Identity and challenges with different life stages

- Navigating ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and other neurodivergence

- Being a parent/parent to a child with neurodivergent needs

- Grief and loss ( I am Cruse bereavement trained)

- Family Dynamics and Family troubles

- Childhood trauma

- Relationship challenges including communication difficulties, divorce, affairs and betrayal.

I can support people with the above.

How I Work:

I bring a warm, grounded presence to our sessions, helping you feel safe, affirmed, and validated at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, blending practical tools, with deeper exploration through relational theories. I really believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship, 

I will take the time to get to know you and your life, exploring how past and present experiences may have shaped the challenges you face. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of these struggles and work toward healing.

Sometimes, I’ll share simple insights about how your mind, body, and emotions are connected to help you understand your experiences. We can explore grounding techniques to ease overwhelm and lift low mood, giving you helpful tools to restore balance and feel more at ease.

Whether we’re focusing on self-acceptance, boundary-setting, or processing past experiences. I’ll walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths and move toward the life you want.

 Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, but I’ll be here to guide and support you every step of the way. I’m not afraid to bring lightness or humour when it’s helpful!

I offer a free 30 minute consultation session via Zoom/telephone to see how I can best support you.
