Let's Get Acquainted...
I’m Gemma - a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist with a genuine passion for helping people create meaningful change in their lives.
I’m based in the South East of England, where I live with my husband and our lively Australian Cattle Dog, Roo.
Clients often describe me as approachable,
down-to-earth, and genuinely caring. I’m deeply
committed to the people I work with and strive to create a warm, supportive environment where you can feel truly seen and heard. I also bring a gentle sense of humour into the therapy room - because sometimes, a shared smile can be just as powerful as the work we do.
Whether you’re facing a difficult period or simply want to understand yourself better, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My Background and Experience
Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of health,
education, and mental health settings- all of which have shaped who I am as a
therapist today.
I’ve supported children with special educational needs, worked with young people and families through the cleft lip and palate service, and helped adults recovering from burn injuries. Each of these roles gave me a deeper understanding of how emotional wellbeing is connected to every part of our lives.
Since 2019, I’ve worked within NHS Talking Therapies as a CBT therapist, where I’ve supported people experiencing anxiety, low mood, panic, stress, and other day-to-day struggles that can feel overwhelming.
These experiences have helped me become a therapist who is flexible, empathetic, and ready to meet you wherever you are.
My Qualifications
I’m a fully qualified and BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with the following academic background:
BSc (Hons) Psychology – The Open University
Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Low Intensity CBT – University of Essex
Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – University of East Anglia
These qualifications have provided me with a strong foundation in evidence-based practice, which I continue to build on through ongoing professional development and reflective practice.
Ready to Begin?
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to meet you with kindness, not judgment. However you're feeling, you’ll be heard, supported, and never rushed.
