I started studying counselling and therapy techniques as well as psychology 20 years ago. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics.

I have been educated in different types of evidence-based therapeutic methods (e.g. psychodrama, autogenic training, CBT and mindfulness techniques) which are very effective in maintaining mental health. I select and tailor the techniques according to my client’s individual needs. I have a holistic approach to life and have also studied alternative therapies. I look at all aspects of a person (physical condition, social connections, personal beliefs) in order to improve their well-being. I feel it is important to approach life from all angles.

Are you looking for a safe and caring space to explore your emotions and find greater self-awareness? Talking therapy offers a space for you to breathe and reflect.

Hi, I'm Gemma.

As a person-centred therapist, I offer warmth, empathy, and a place to be yourself, helping you navigate life's challenges and find your own path toward healing and growth.

As a member of the LGBQT+ community with lived experience of a long-term medical condition, I know the value of being heard by someone who understands your experience.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, or simply looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to listen and support you on your journey toward greater self-discovery and emotional well-being. Throughout my training I gained experience working within a Cancer Support charity, I am a senior therapist working at a charity supporting men in suicidal crisis and I run my own private practice.

I am here to listen and walk beside you as you navigate the difficult periods of your life.

Originating from a therapeutic background in mental health and having worked in a number of services and charities such as substance abuse residential rehabilitation services, domestic violence services, and CAMHS, among others, I have developed a wide experience and interest in different types of trauma, especially childhood trauma, including abuse of all kinds, and neglect. I have also much experience working with individuals with addiction problems and co-occurring mental health problems. Since training as a Philosopher, I have srudied to be a coach. Within this role, i amalgamate notions of Positive Psychology, Mindfulness and Jungian Psychology. Originating from my background in Existential philosophy, I also apply such principles to my coaching practice. I thus help people reach their full potential in order to acquire a life of purpose, meaning and hopefulness.

Hello,

I'm an Integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Spalding, Lincolnshire. I am accredited with UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and a registered member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I aim to develop a supportive, and confidential space that helps you to feel at ease, where you can talk freely about what is worrying you, what matters to you, and the experiences that have shaped you. You might be hoping to work through depression, anxiety, bereavement, life-changing events or past trauma. You may be curious about aspects of yourself and wish to explore who you are and where you want to be in your life. Working together, we will explore, manage, and make sense of life's challenges and difficulties whilst nurturing hope and the potential for self-awareness, discovery, and the possibility of change. 

I offer sessions in-person and online by video call. I work both short-term and open-ended, depending on what presenting issues you may wish to work through.

I draw on a range of theories to support our work, including Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and CBT, as well as holding a tool kit of interventions to help you find your own resources to manage your issues. ​I recognise the crucial connection of body and mind and I have a particular interest in Mindfulness approaches and Somatic therapies.

My approach is holistic, genuine and compassionate, and I work with individuals and couples in a way that best suits your needs and at your own pace. I aim to support you to make sense of your experiences, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and empower you to overcome challenges in your life, whilst nurturing your emotional health and wellbeing for the future. Whatever brings you here, my hope is that by working together we can bring clarity and insight to the things in your life that you would like to change and help you to find a pathway forward that brings meaning and purpose in your life.

I am a trauma informed therapist and currently work in private practice and as a therapist for various emergency and frontline services, including Police and veterans experiencing PTSD and trauma. I am also a trained practitioner of the Rewind Technique.

Over 30 years of experience as a Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist as an academic, cross-cultural researcher & trainer, corporate facilitator, author of over 100 articles.

The modalities I employ:Blend latest neuroscience and behavioural science research with energy techniques, ancient yoga and pranayam principles, conventional and modern meditative practises, mindfulness interwoven with spirituality. Use Bach Flower remedies as an aid in the psychological growth process, when required.

Hello! A warm welcome to my profile. My name’s Melissa; I’m an integrative psychotherapist specialising in personalising therapy to meet you where you are. With me, you'll find a warm, open, welcoming, safe space where you can be your true self.

I know searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming or daunting. You've taken the first step by looking for support, and that's worth recognising. My style of therapy meets you where you are, so you don't have to worry about having to adapt to therapy as I tailor it to suit you—whether that's a safe space to talk, a place to create change or a space to be challenged nonjudgmentally. Your voice is heard, and your needs matter to me.

I believe you have a chance of healing when you share your story with someone who is understanding, empathetic, and does not judge. I would like to offer you a welcoming space to hear your story truly.

In our sessions, I creatively pull together various methods, techniques and approaches from different therapies. We might delve into inner child work, attachment patterns or reparenting to understand how unmet needs from childhood affect you today. Together, we uncover and challenge old patterns that no longer serve you, helping you break free from repeating familiar and unproductive dynamics.

Therapy is a journey of change. I always strive to help you feel safe and supported in our sessions together. Your journey in therapy with me is designed to be your exclusive, safe space.

It takes courage to reach out for support. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you. Please reach out.

...Together we can find a way forward. - Relational Counselling

🌈 Philosophy of Empowerment:

My philosophy is rooted in the idea that you are the captain of your life's ship. I provide you with the space, time, and safety to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Rather than dictating solutions, I empower you to uncover your own resolutions and answers. Together, we co-create a therapeutic journey that aligns with your needs and goals.

🔮 Guiding Your Path:

I approach our sessions with empathy, respect, and a deep belief in your innate capacity for growth. While I may offer suggestions and insights, the ultimate decisions and choices are yours to make. I'm here to encourage your self-discovery, support your personal insights, and facilitate a deeper understanding of your own inner landscape.

Creating a secure and non-judgmental space is at the heart of my practice. This space allows you to delve into your thoughts and emotions freely, fostering self-awareness and positive change.

I believe we can all thrive and not just survive, growth and development are, continuous.

By sitting in the space space of counselling, we can begin to process our past and choose the future.

Sometimes just doing everyday tasks can feel an enormous effort and like we are not taking a full role in our own life.

This is when it can be really helpful to take time for yourself and take control again.
