Integrative Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Gemma combines client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and mindfulness practices to offer a flexible online therapy experience. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a supportive, empathic relationship so the individual feels heard and understood; it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provides practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which many people find useful alongside other approaches.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gemma works collaboratively to identify which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide on a pace and mix of techniques that feel most helpful.

Online therapy with Gemma is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from registered professionals and therapists without the need for travel, helping people maintain continuity of care alongside everyday responsibilities.
