Perhaps you feel stuck or lost, you may have been struggling with anxiety or depression, or want to more deeply understand yourself and how you are showing up in work, or relationships. You may want change but are not sure where or how to start. I am an experienced and BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor (Dip, MBACP) based in Gloucestershire, and I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space, to explore your issues in depth and find a new path forward. My approach is rooted in a compassionate regard and respect for my clients and their individuality.
I work with adults and am experienced in working with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, 'imposter syndrome', relationship issues, trauma, anger issues and bereavement. I also have 18 years experience advising technology businesses and coaching executives on career related issues.
I understand that the decision to come for counselling is usually not taken lightly, and that it often requires great courage. It is also vital that you feel I can relate to you and identify with what you are bringing. If you are interested to understand more about how we may work together then I offer a free initial 15-minute phone consultation.
Call or Gemma Hale now for a free 15 minute consultation - 01242 502073

I work an ongoing basis, at a pace that serves you, with regular reviews. During our initial sessions we will explore what brings you to counselling, and I will also ask for a personal history. I work psychodynamically, so we may gently make links between your early experiences and current issues. I use a trauma-informed approach to support you in processing and managing challenging material.

Psychodynamic counselling works by exploring early life events to identify and address deep-seated emotional and psychological issues. By bringing unconscious conflicts and emotions into conscious awareness, deepening and expand your self-enquiry, the aim is to support you in processing feelings and providing an opportunity to move forward differently
