Gemma Jones MBACP - Bourton Counselling

About me

I am passionate about helping people through difficult times, and strongly believe that enabling an individual to speak about their worries and concerns in a calm and trusted environment, with a patient listener, can be a true healer.

The way I work.

I work in an integrative way and incorporate the Person-Centred approach, along with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and the Psychodynamic approach. I aim to develop a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship, where we can explore how things are for you. We move at your pace, working through what you choose to discuss at each session. This way of working can be enlightening and hugely powerful. I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

Who I work with

I have a keen interest in working with parents. There is a fair amount of literature and workshops aimed at supporting and understanding children, however being a parent can be tough, and I feel that parents do not always get offered the non-judgemental support that they might need.

However I am not restricted to working with parents only, and welcome enquiries from those who face different challenges. I have been a counsellor at a mental health charity, and have experience of working with clients who face a wide variety of difficulties.
