Client-Centered Care and Online Access

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering a warm, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding and supports clients to explore feelings and choices, which can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, depression and recovery from trauma.

Gemma tailors the therapeutic process to each person, working collaboratively to identify goals and try approaches that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the journey, and Gemma will help determine what feels most useful through ongoing conversation and gentle experimentation.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care and access support from different locations, while still working with a qualified therapist on meaningful change.
