I have a specialist interest in therapeutic parenting and understand the pressures of todays society.
Art therapy is an opportunity to express thoughts and feelings through creativity. Using a wide variety of materials to make art, such as paints, pastels or clay, may feel easier than finding words and talking. You don’t have to be good at art to do art therapy.

Hello! I work as a Clinical Psychologist part-time in the NHS, and part-time online.

I find it rewarding to work with individuals, both children and adults, who are looking to heal from past traumas. Maybe you or you're child are struggling to managing intense emotions, dealing with intrusive, or struggling with difficulties with trusting others. If you're open to exploring your feelings in a safe and supportive space, and you value a collaborative approach, we can work together to develop healthy coping skills, build self-esteem, and improve your overall well-being. I believe that incorporating nature-based activities, sensory experiences, and creative expression can be really helpful in the healing process.

You’re outwardly functioning, maybe even thriving—but inside, something doesn’t feel right. You might feel uncomfortable in your body, carry shame about how you look or feel, or avoid intimacy, movement, or being seen. Or maybe you just feel numb, stuck, or not quite like yourself anymore. I work with people who’ve spent years saying “I’m fine” but quietly feel disconnected—from their bodies, their needs, or their sense of self. Therapy is a space to stop hiding and start coming home to who you are.

I came to TA after a long time in therapy, which convinced me of the power of talking therapy to enable change. I wanted to learn about T.A as it fits with my values of equality. A core principal is that " I'm OK and You're OK" and I approach my practice in that way. Therapy can be hard work, but there is always the potential for growth, and happiness.

I'm Gemma. I'm a clinical psychologist with a passion for working with families and wider systems around people. I work with couples, and parents who are struggling with the behaviour of their children, particularly aggression or other risky behaviours. I also work with couples who are experiencing significant levels of conflict and harmful or abusive behaviour. Sometimes, my work is with parents who have separated and are trying to work out how to reduce the impact of this separation on their children, or repair or reconstruct relationships that have become strained or distant.
