Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, grief, or relational difficulties? If so, please keep reading. My name is Gemma, and I am a BACP-registered integrative Counsellor based in Wimbledon, SW19, with specialized experience in mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, and relational trauma. I provide both short and long-term therapy for adults aged 18 and over, available face-to-face in Wimbledon or through virtual sessions accessible nationally and worldwide.
You have already taken the most challenging step by seeking help, so don't hesitate to reach out and start living the life you truly deserve.
Counselling can be transformative for those experiencing anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties. As human beings, we all strive to live our best lives, but it’s common to feel overwhelmed or trapped in cycles of maladaptive behaviours.
Together in counselling, we can work through your difficulties and empower you to regain control over your mental health, allowing you to start genuinely living.
We all strive to live our best lives, but it’s common to feel overwhelmed or trapped in cycles of maladaptive behaviours.
In a counselling session with me, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space. Together, we can work through your difficulties and empower you to regain control over your mental health, bringing you out of survival mode and allowing you to start genuinely living.
I'm an integrative, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed Counsellor. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to your personal healing journey, placing a strong emphasis on the mind-body connection, which is crucial for well-being and mental health.
Our work together is centered on the therapeutic relationship itself. I believe that it is within the safety of a genuine relationship that relational trauma can heal. This is why my approach is rooted in empathy, acceptance, warmth, and connection to ensure the safety of our work together. From these foundations, I can support you in making sense of your past, building awareness of how you relate to the world, recognizing its impact on your present, and moving toward a more purposeful and joyful future, not controlled by anxiety or depression.
The relationship is central to my practice, which is why I offer a free 20-minute chat to potential clients. This initial conversation allows us to explore if I am the right counsellor for you. If you decide to continue, we can schedule your first session, providing another opportunity for you to get to know me.
I encourage you to speak with several counsellors to ensure you find the right person for your therapeutic journey. Your well-being is the priority, and finding the right support is essential.

I grew up in Spain as an expat, and lived there until I came back to the UK to begin my journey into the world of mental health, a lifetime passion of mine. I have been a volunteer counsellor at the mental health charity Mind and now have a thriving private practice in Wimbledon SW19 and Clapham SW11.
My journey to becoming a counsellor has been driven by my own personal and transformative experiences with counselling. I don't just guide you on your journey, I do it with heart and lived experiences of the true power we all have within us to become the best version of who we are in our most authentic form.
I have a wealth of experience working with a range of anxiety disorders , depression and relationship difficulties with yourself and others. Healthy relationships and connections are the pinnacle of mental health and wellbeing. It is so easy to become stuck in negative patterns and it is also not as hard as you think to break out. I hope you take the first leap of faith like I did and get the support you deserve.
I look forward to guiding you on your journey towards a more positive, purposeful and meaningful life.
