Transactional Analysis Counselling in Leigh-on-Sea

Gemma Maria Anderson
Counsellor, MBACP
Hi I’m Gemma, welcome to my profile. Counselling can be daunting and maybe you’re unsure of what you want which is why I offer my 1st Session less than half the fee for you to decide if I’m the right fit for you. I have many years of experience with anxiety, depression, confidence issues, fears and many more reasons people take up counselling. Are you experiencing intense emotions and feel like you’re unable to manage them in the way you would like?. Are you feeling sad, isolated and alone because of this. There really is nothing too small/big to bring to therapy. Maybe get in contact and give it a try. :)

Elmsleigh Counselling
Counsellor, MBACP Accred
Currently offering discounted first sessions for £35. Counselling is about making sense of what’s on your mind and finding practical ways to feel more in control. I listen closely, ask questions that matter, and help you explore strategies that actually fit your life. Sessions are focused, supportive, and occasionally lightened with well-timed honesty—because life doesn’t always need another lecture. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-esteem, work-life balance, or life transitions, we work together to clarify what matters to you and take steps that lead to real progress.

My journey began with supporting teenagers in a secondary school, helping them navigate the emotional, social and academic challenges that often arise during adolescence. From there, my work has extended to individuals facing a range of life difficulties, including domestic abuse and social isolation, grief and loss and significant life transitions.

I am trained in Psychodynamic, CBT, Humanistic and Transactional Analysis and Inner Child therapy.
Most of my clients come to me knowing they are not happy but they don't always know why. Sometimes it is because of the people and circumstances around them and sometimes it is because they keep repeating the same behaviours that are not producing a happy life for them. My job is to help people understand what it is in their lives that they are not happy with, or want to change and to imagine a life with the new changes in it. I work with the client to provide a safe, comfortable environment for them to explore what is going on for them and how they can make the changes to live a happy, fulfilling life.

When putting your thoughts or feelings into words is difficult, art therapy offers an alternative, non-verbal means to communicate and explore your experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Gaining a deeper understanding of the events that have shaped your life and relationships can help restore a sense of control over your mind, body and behaviour. You don't have to be 'good' at art, or have any experience in art-making. I will provide materials and some prompts to guide you, but together we will find the support you need and methods that work for you.
