Jemima Gee (Lily Pad Counselling)
About me
My name is Jemima Gee and I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and I work within their Ethical Framework for Good Practice. My registration number is 373865. I also hold full indemnity insurance.
Choosing to have counselling can be a daunting step for some people to take and I fully understand that. As a person-centred counsellor I will work with you at your pace. I can provide you with a safe, confidential space to explore any worries, life changes, anxieties or issues that are causing you to feel uncomfortable, unhappy, alone, distressed, pained or confused. Feeling heard and supported is so important and I will listen to you and try to understand what life is like for you. Together we can explore your life, feelings and thoughts and look at resolving your difficulties.
I can offer both short term and long term counselling working with issues including, but not limited to:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Self Harm
- Bereavement/Loss
- Relationship Problems
- Stress
- Self Esteem
- Pain
I have experience and a good understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD and have worked with clients who have these conditions.
Building a good working therapeutic relationship is key to the counselling process and connecting with warmth is something I feel is a strength of mine. I will listen to you without judgement and respectfully explore what is troubling you. Reflecting on the things that you choose to share we may gain more awareness and insight in your difficulties. I'll be alongside you and support you on your personal journey. I always feel very privileged to be allowed into another person's world and value each and every person I work with.
I firmly believe in this quote:
'People start to heal the moment they feel heard'

Further information
My private practice is based in the small village of Ringstead in Northamptonshire, where the beautiful River Nene passes through. It is within easy reach of the A14 and A45 offering easy access from Wellingborough, Oundle, Thrapston, Rushden, Kettering, Corby and surrounding areas. My counselling room provides a comfortable, calm and private space in which to work. Please note access into the room is via a few steps. There is free off-road parking. Daytime and evening appointments are available.
If you would like to meet me, I would be pleased to arrange an initial appointment. I believe that it's really important that you feel comfortable working with me. I can offer an initial 30 minute session free of charge. That way we can meet and you can ask any questions and decide if you think that we can work together in a therapeutic way. If you'd like to contact me beforehand to discuss the way that I work, please do either call or email me.
