About Gemma

Gemma Collins is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She draws on her BACP credential to support people facing stress, anxiety and depression. Gemma aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

She believes the client is the expert in their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on listening, exploring what matters and finding small, achievable steps forward.

Background and approach

That straightforward approach helps people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Gemma uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the person’s perspective and priorities. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about trauma, abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes.

Practical concerns such as workplace stress, communication problems and issues around separation are also covered. People dealing with chronic illness or pain, feelings of isolation, guilt or struggles around identity and discrimination can bring those topics into sessions. Gemma also supports exploration of life purpose and self-love where these are relevant.

Her work aims to make everyday coping feel more manageable. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Gemma helps people notice what is already working and try different ways of handling difficult moments.

She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions & fees

Client-centred care offered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said and follows the client's lead to identify what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-worth, depression and responses to trauma by building on the person's own strengths and choices.

Gemma will work collaboratively to find an approach that fits each person's needs and goals. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the focus as needed. Choosing a therapeutic approach is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer written communication or need flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible for different routines and practical needs.
