About me
Your wondering what's wrong , you dont feel yourself. The world might feel like a silent film – you're going through the motions, but the joy and fulfilment have faded. It's common to feel lost, overwhelmed, worried, or anxious without knowing why. That's where I come in! As a creative, intergrative person-centred counsellor, I believe each client is unique, and I'll tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs. I'll gently challenge you to gain new perspectives while working at your pace
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step. It might feel hopeful, scary, or a bit of both. You might be wondering if therapy will be too clinical, if you’ll have to say the right thing, or if it will be anything like the times it didn’t fit before. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I’m Gemma, a BACP registered integrative counsellor working with adults 18+ in Stourbridge. I offer in-person sessions in Wordsley and secure online anxiety counselling across the UK.
If anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling out of place has made life feel muted and colourless, my approach is creative and tailored. The name Kaleidoscope reflects what I believe: with the right support, we can take the pieces you have and create something new. Bringing back colour, shape, and meaning in a way that feels right for you.
I work with adults who feel like therapy wasn’t made for them. or who want long term changes after trauma This includes Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults, people exploring neurodiversity, and those navigating faith and mental health alongside anxiety. You don’t need a diagnosis to come to me. If standard talking therapy has felt too rigid, we can do things differently.
*What I can help you to do:*
- *Make sense of anxiety*: Understand how anxiety, stress, or overwhelm shows up for you, and find ways to make it more manageable day to day.
- *Feel less out of place*: Explore what it means to be neurodivergent, ADHD, AuDHD, or Autistic, and build self-understanding without pressure to mask.
- *Find your voice when words are hard*: Use creative counselling tools like reflection, imagery, and mindfulness when talking alone feels stuck.
- *Hold faith and mental health together*: Make space for spirituality and wellbeing without one cancelling out the other.
- *Move forward after feeling stuck*: Work through bereavement, trauma, low self-esteem, or relationship breakdown at your pace, in a way that feels safe.
- Recover from long term trauma with long lasting results
We go at your pace. Sessions might include talking, reflection, creative approaches, and mindfulness. Sometimes it’s conversation. Sometimes it’s something more creative. The aim is feelings more manageable, and therapy that finally feels like it fits your personality.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
