Gemma Parker
Psychologist, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Verified
I have a lot of experience working alongside the local authority, CAFCASS and
family
courts.
I provide psychological therapy and interventions to individuals who are struggling with their relationships. This might be because of conflict with a partner, or parenting difficulties. Or perhaps you're separated and finding it hard to co-parent. Perhaps you would like some help to deal with difficult events that have happened in your relationships in the past, so that they have less influence on your life now. Maybe you have children's services or the
family
court involved in your life and you'd like some help to resolve the situation. (I am happy to accept referrals through the courts if this is discussed with me first).

family
working, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), relationally focused therapy, mindfulness, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My specialism is working with children and young people, as I enjoy supporting people during transitional times. I particularly like the 'outside of the box' and curious nature of young people, as well as their often very frank attitude! However, I also enjoy working with adult clients and welcome interesting discussions of psychological complexities within session. I can offer a spectrum of support, ranging from a broader exploration of certain life and relationship patterns to a very focused intervention for a particular problem.

Counselling/ Psychotherapy: Effective counselling reduces confusion, allowing you to make effective decisions leading to positive changes in your attitude, behaviours & overall well-being. The ultimate aim of counselling is to enable you to make your own choices, reach your own decisions & go forward with a greater sense of clarity & self-management. Hypnotherapy & mindfulness can be introduced as a type of complementary therapy in which hypnosis is used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility during which positive suggestions are made to rid you of emotional blockage. Mindfulness keeps us focused

Kim Harrison
Psychotherapist, MA, HCPC-Art Therap.
Verified
Standard or nature-based art therapy & mindfulness for stress, anxiety, burnout, depression,
family
issues or work-related issues. Having a safe non-judgemental space to explore challenges, memories or traumas can help us heal & move forward. We can start wherever you are, you choose the pace. Deepening nature-connection can help manage difficult feelings as well as uplift/soothe us. Sometimes it is difficult to describe emotions with words, that's where art can help. It's not about creating masterpieces. Using art & nature online might seem counter-intuitive, but it works surprisingly well. No need to be outdoors during the session

Do your suffer with anxiety and do you want help, then I am able to help with this. Anxiety can plague you throughout your life. If this describes you then I can help you understand the reasons why. Have you engaged in therapy before and nothing seems to work, then I can help you understand why. Do you struggle to regulate your emotions and you do not understand why, then therapy can help you explore why you have unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This may relate to early life experiences.
