I have very limited face-to-face availability in Hackney Central on Tuesdays. I can offer some flexibility so please do get in touch for alternative timings.

Hello, my name is Gemma and I am integrative therapist offering long and short term therapy face-to-face in East London or online nationwide. My aim is to help identify patterns of behaviour which may no longer serve you, and help you relate better to yourself and the world around you.

I have extensive experience of and enjoy working with anxiety, depression, sex and sexuality, trauma, gender identity, work stress, diverse/poly relationships, neurodivergence, bereavement, suicidal ideation and self esteem.

I was drawn to therapy following a career in suicide prevention. I am motivated by my clients' inner strength and aim to empower them to reach their full potential and live true to themselves.

I gained my diploma in Therapeutic Counselling at Mary Ward Centre London and have also been trained in Rewind Technique for Trauma by Dr David Muss. I have volunteered for many charities and campaigns including Special Olympics Ireland, Together for Yes and The Listening Place.

I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and have lived in East London for 14 years. I continue to work and volunteer in suicide prevention and also teach suicide prevention and awareness to therapists. 

Drawing from psychodynamic, transpersonal, and humanistic perspectives, we'll examine how your past, present, and future intersect. Together, we'll unravel the threads of your life story and help you make sense of it in a way that feels relevant and relatable.

Psychodynamic insights allow us to explore the unconscious patterns and emotions that may be influencing your life. Together, we delve into the depths of your psyche, shedding light on hidden aspects of yourself.

Transpersonal elements invite us to explore the spiritual and transcendent dimensions of your experience. This can be a transformative journey, helping you connect with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.

Humanistic principles underpin our work, emphasizing your unique potential for self-actualisation and personal growth. I'm here to guide you on your path towards self-discovery and fulfilment.

I am also trained in trauma therapy. The Rewind Technique is a short-term, therapeutic approach used to treat trauma-related symptoms and distressing memories.  I was trained in this therapy by the originator, Dr David Muss. Please contact me for more information. 

I offer a complimentary 15 minute phone call ahead of booking an initial appointment. At our first appointment, we will take an in depth look at the issues you would like to address and identify goals for your therapy.
