Empowering You to Heal, Grow, and Move Forward — Tailored Counselling and Addiction Support
Gemma Allen
I’m Gemma, an Integrative Counsellor with a flexible, client-led way of working. Some people need a calm, non-directive space to be heard; others want a clearer, solution-focused path with gentle challenge and practical tools. I offer both, and we’ll decide together what fits you best.
I’m also a qualified addiction therapist and recovery coach, and I work with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, abuse and domestic abuse, self-esteem and identity issues, and varying levels of anxiety and depression.
At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: you already carry the inner resources to move forward. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate and collaborative environment where you can explore, make sense of your experience, and create meaningful, lasting change—at your pace.

My Services

Individual Sessions
One-to-one counselling sessions offer a safe, confidential space to explore personal challenges, gain insight, and work towards emotional healing and growth. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, providing compassionate support and practical strategies.

Couple Sessions
Couples therapy provides a supportive environment to improve communication, deepen connection, and navigate challenges together. These sessions focus on shared goals and help build stronger, healthier relationships through mutual understanding.

Online Sessions
Flexible and accessible, online counselling allows you to receive professional support from the comfort of your own space. Ideal for individuals or couples, these sessions maintain the same level of care and confidentiality as in-person therapy.

Individual Sessions
Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to navigate on your own. Individual therapy offers a safe, confidential space to talk openly, without judgement, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, low mood, self-esteem challenges, trauma, addiction, or just feeling stuck, I offer a tailored approach that meets you where you are. Together, we’ll explore your experiences at your own pace and work towards greater clarity and emotional wellbeing.
You don’t have to face things alone — therapy can be a powerful step forward.
from £60.00 per session
Couple Sessions
Relationships can bring both joy and difficulty. Whether you’re facing conflict, trust issues, or feeling disconnected, couples therapy provides a supportive space to explore what’s happening — together.
I help couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and develop stronger, healthier ways of relating. Sessions are adapted to suit your relationship and offer a non-judgemental space where both partners feel heard and valued.
Whether you’re looking to reconnect, navigate challenges, or rebuild after a tough period, couples therapy can help you move forward with renewed clarity and compassion.
from £90.00 per session
