Gemma Capocci

Life can be hard, but you don't have to travel through it alone. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space to share any difficult thoughts, feelings or past memories that may be troubling you. By developing a therapeutic relationship of trust and safety, we will work collaboratively together to reach your goals, allowing space for reflection, insight and a deeper understanding of your self along the way. There is no right or wrong way to do therapy. I offer both in-person and online therapy, long and short term, at a pace that is most comfortable for you.

I work with adults individually, however my speciality is working with mothers in the perinatal period and beyond, particularly those struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, overwhelm, loss of identity and feelings of failure. As an integrative therapist, I work with a range of therapeutic modalities, or styles of therapy, and together we will decide upon the best approach for you.

It's my belief that little weight is given to the life-changing transition of motherhood on women, particularly the significant emotional impact and the breakdown of self-worth and perceived value in society. Through validating and normalising difficult feelings, I foster a foundation of self compassion and acceptance that will help regulate and calm difficult and overwhelming feelings even in the most trying of times.

I do work to a sliding scale, so if you believe you would benefit from therapy but £65 feels unfeasible, please still get in touch.

I am co-founder of We Are Motherly Love CIC, a non-profit organisation providing free peer support for mothers struggling with their mental health.  I also volunteered for perinatal mental health charity, The PANDAS Foundation for two years from March 2020.
