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.

Navigating issues through a therapeutic relationship can empower us to progress in your journey of self-discovery and thrive in life.

You may feel anxious about not fitting in, questioning your identity, and worrying how others see you. Behind the mask you wear to keep it together, there’s exhaustion and the crash that comes from hiding your true feelings. Therapy can be the space where you stop masking, ease the anxiety, and begin to feel secure in who you are.

At the core of my therapeutic approach is to provide an empathic, safe and open space, enabling clients to develop awareness and understanding of complex psychological difficulties. I use this basic foundation to help clients (and the systems around them) work through these challenges by applying appropriate, evidenced-based intervention models in a gentle and collaborative way. I believe that while life inevitably entails a degree of trauma, tragedy or other adversity, therapy can help people find resilience and hope, thus supporting them to grow from these experiences and offering a path to a happier and more settled existence.
