COUNSELLING
WITH GEMMA
Hi, I'm Gemma....
I offer counselling for adults and young people, over 12, in the Scottish Borders.
My counselling room is set within a working farm overlooking open fields with views of Hume Castle in the distance. I can also offer online and telephone sessions for those that this would suit better.
​
I welcome new clients from all backgrounds. I have varied availability and can discuss appointment times to suit you.
Therapy with Gemma
I am a trained Counsellor and Psychotherapist and I currently work with individuals over the age of 12 on a 1:1 basis.
I work from a pluralistic perspective, I believe that when life gets hard, different people need different things at different times to help. What helps one person may not necessarily help another.
​
I firmly believe that you are the person who knows yourself best, even if you currently feel a little lost.
​
I can listen, offer understanding and acceptance and work with you to find your next step.
What to expect
In your first counselling session, we would generally begin with a discussion around what brings you to counselling.
​
We can then plan together a path forwards. I may offer you options and ideas to choose from but will aim to work with your preferences.
​
Sessions can include talk, creative methods or be in nature. I also offer walk and talk sessions at a mutually agreed location, Gordon Community woodland is a beautiful setting for this.
​
Our work together can be short term, lasting only a few sessions. Or it can be longer term- there is no obligation and we can work together to find what suits you best.
​
I welcome your feedback, it helps me to make sure the sessions are tailored to you.
​
Sessions last 50-60 minutes and cost £50.
