Helping you understand your mind and move forward — with CBT for depression, anxiety, and everyday overwhelm.

Hi, and welcome- I’m Gemma, a BABCP   accredited CBT therapist based in Essex. I offer private Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), helping individuals manage and  overcome a range of difficulties including anxiety, low confidence, depression, trauma, and more.

Whether you're struggling with social     anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in a cycle of worry and avoidance, CBT can provide practical tools and a deeper understanding of what’s keeping you stuck. You may be hoping to build.           confidence, reduce self-critical thoughts, or stop comparing yourself to others- whatever brings you here, my approach is grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where we can explore your experiences with honesty and compassion.

Farmstead Therapy was inspired by my love of the countryside and my roots in the rural community. My practice is rooted in warmth, acceptance, and the belief that meaningful change is possible for everyone. I welcome people from all backgrounds who are and offer sessions via Microsoft Teams.
