Gemma Barrett

I have availability in my practice. 

My working hours are:

Saturday - 9am-1pm 

Hello, I'm Gemma. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Something that's often missing in a world focused on doing.

You might be in a place where you are stuck in a cycle of thought that isn’t serving you. I am here to help you make sense of your thoughts and guide you through them to find the truth behind the story you are telling yourself. 

My approach is integrative, which means I draw on different counselling theories to suit your unique needs - no two people are the same. At the heart of my practice is a humanistic core, where you can explore your experiences and tap into your own capacity for growth.

Before training as a counsellor, I worked in Customer Service for 20 years, developing strong listening skills and empathy. Supporting people through difficult conversations sparked my passion for counselling and deepened my belief in the importance of being truly heard.

I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addictive behaviours, complicated family relationships or dynamics, or those going through major life changes and are feeling destabilised.

Being a registered member of the BACP means I adhere to professional ethical standards to ensure you receive safe, effective support.

Finding the right therapeutic relationship is essential to your success. I offer a free 30-minute introductory call so we can see if we're a good fit - no pressure, just an opportunity to connect.
