Services

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy sessions with Gemma are designed to help individuals overcome emotional barriers. She uses suggestion-based techniques to support clients dealing with anxiety, phobias, stress, and low self-esteem. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can be particularly effective in encouraging positive behavioural change.

Gemma’s specialist training in anxiety issues enables her to work confidently with both adults and children. She has also provided therapy through the national charity Anxiety UK, offering evidence-based support to those most in need.

Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Work

In addition to hypnotherapy, Gemma offers psychotherapeutic counselling. These sessions help clients explore emotional difficulties in a structured and supportive setting. Importantly, she adapts her approach to suit individual needs, ensuring therapy remains both effective and respectful.

Her work with the respected mental health charity Mind strengthened her ability to address a broad range of issues, including depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma.

Play Therapy for Children

Gemma’s background in education makes her particularly skilled at working with children. Using play therapy techniques, she helps children express emotions, develop coping skills, and improve communication. This method is ideal for children who may struggle to verbalise their feelings directly.
