ABOUT GEMMA:
​
Hi there, I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, with enhanced DBS, based in Billericay, Essex. For nearly 20 years, I have been helping people of all ages with their mental health and personal development. I have a kind and patient approach to clients, making them feel comfortable and heard.
​​
My educational background and passions lie in Psychology and Creative Arts. ​Before coming into Counselling, I worked in a SEN college with young people and adults, supporting their mental health and personal progression. I also work as a Senior Outreach Crisis Worker for a mental health charity, supporting adults with critical mental health needs, in their most vulnerable moments.
​​​
I have personal experience with various mental health challenges over the years and have been through my own therapy to understand myself better and to heal. I personally know that therapy can be difficult at times, which is why I created Theraputea: a supportive approach to therapy and wellbeing, where I can provide true empathy of your experiences, guide you and support you at your own pace.
My therapeutic process involves a range of theories and models, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, CBT, Humanistic, Transactional Analysis, and more. I have completed many hours of training with the NHS, BPS, NCPS, CPCAB and a variety of leading companies around mental health and wellbeing.​
​​
I am a registered member of NCPS, working alongside their guidelines and ethics for counselling.
