Is Therapy Right for Me?

Not sure if therapy is right for you? That’s okay. You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out. You might be:

➡️ Tired of anxious thoughts or emotional exhaustion

➡️ Struggling with identity, belonging, or low self-worth

➡️ Holding pain from past trauma or heartbreak

➡️ Wanting to understand yourself more deeply

What I Can Support You With

I work with people facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and identity-based challenges. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure, therapy offers a space to explore and reconnect with yourself.

Anxiety & Low Mood

Learn to understand your triggers, your body's responses, and soothe your nervous system to navigate life with more ease.

Trauma & Childhood Wounds

A gentle, trauma-informed approach to explore past experiences that still affect how you feel, connect, and cope in the present.

Relationships & Breakups

Explore relational patterns, heal from difficult relationships, and gain clarity around boundaries, attachment, and connection.

Identity & Belonging

Support for those wanting to explore who they are and how they make sense of and belong in the world they find themselves in. Understanding how all of the different parts of our identity have shaped us and how we might want to accept, expand, or evolve these.

Life Transitions & Loss

Therapy through grief, infertility, early menopause, or identity shifts — holding space for change, pain, and new beginnings.

LGBTQIA+ Support

An affirming space to explore sexuality, gender identity, and the struggles and/or joys that come with being your full self.

Not Sure How to Name It?

You don’t need a label to start therapy. Whether you’re carrying something, recent, old, or unnamed — this space is here for you to explore what’s coming up, at your own pace.

✔️ Anxiety
✔️ Bereavement
✔️ Childhood Sexual Abuse
✔️ Depression

Hi, I’m Gemma — a therapist who will meet you where you are.

I’m a BACP-registered Integrative Therapist offering therapy in Hackney, Hampstead, and online. I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, low self-worth, and the quiet (or loud) ache of not feeling like yourself.Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in childcare — supporting families in creating safe, nurturing environments. That background still informs how I show up in the therapy room: calm, steady, and curious about what shaped you and what you need now.I come from a dual-heritage background, and I understand the ways identity, culture, and belonging can impact how we experience the world. My practice is LGBTQIA+ inclusive, trauma-informed, and open to all of who you are.

Relational & Attachment-Based

We take a comprehensive look at how your early relationships helped to shape your patterns of behavior and your overall sense of self, exploring the profound ways in which these formative connections influence you even today. By delving into these dynamics, we can uncover the lasting echoes of those experiences that resonate in your current life and relationships.

Trauma-Informed, Nervous System, & Body-Aware

Understanding how your body responds to stress or overwhelm helps us gently shift how you cope — not by pushing through, but by slowing down. Together, we’ll learn to listen to your internal signals — the subtle cues in your body that speak to your emotional world — and respond with care rather than criticism.

Inclusive & Identity-Aware

I aspire to explore and hold space for all of who you are, embracing the entirety of your identity — including, but not limited to, your unique culture, race, gender, and the rich tapestry of your lived experiences that shape your perspective and define your narrative.

Curious, Not Prescriptive

Rather than offering advice like a friend or family member might, I create space to explore your experience with care, curiosity, and trust in what unfolds. I walk alongside you, not in front. Through meaningful dialogue and gentle exploration, we make room for your story to emerge — always at your pace, and always in service of deeper self-understanding.

What’s it like to work with me?

Sessions last 50 minutes and take place in a private, quiet room — either in Hackney (E8) on Thursdays or Hampstead (NW3) on Wednesdays and Fridays. Online sessions are also available.There’s no script. Some sessions are full of words. Others are quiet, emotional, or unclear — and that’s all welcome. We move at your pace.
