About me
Hello, I am Gemma, a psychotherapist with over 8 years of professional experience, offering safe, confidential, and effective counselling online and in person. Based in Petersfield, Hampshire.
I work both remotely so you can access support from the comfort of your own space and I hold limited in-person sessions in central Petersfield.
My practice is grounded in person-centred therapy, which is a non-judgemental, supportive approach, focused on your needs. I offer a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges at your own pace.
Training, qualifications & experience
BA Hons in Person-Centred Psychotherapy - Middlesex University
Over 8 years of clinical experience.
I began my career supporting young people in crisis, where I gained extensive experience working with childhood trauma. I later expanded my practice to include adults, working within low-cost counselling services in London and holding a private practice. I have also worked in organisations that support survivors of sexual abuse and trauma.
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.
