About Gemma

Gemma Collins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP registration. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or who are coping with trauma and abuse. Gemma emphasises a down-to-earth, respectful way of working and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

She starts by listening carefully and making space for what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around the person's needs, not a fixed script. Gemma aims to build confidence, improve self-esteem and help people manage life changes at a steady pace. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's experience at the heart of the work.

That means conversations focus on what the client brings and on strengthening their own resources. Gemma offers a calm, patient presence and works to create an environment where people can speak honestly about difficult experiences. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, chronic illness or pain, relationship endings, guilt, isolation and workplace stress.

Gemma is comfortable addressing multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and questions about life purpose and self-love. People who choose Gemma can expect straightforward, empathetic sessions that encourage exploration and practical coping steps. She helps clients take manageable steps toward feeling more able to cope and clearer about their next choices.

Ways of working Gemma names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own perspective and strengths. The therapist offers attentive listening, reflection and acceptance so the person can make sense of their experiences and build confidence. This approach is helpful for issues like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Gemma will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the way she works so it fits. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to deepen emotional processing, practise coping strategies or focus on problem-solving in day-to-day life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give choice and flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit ongoing support, brief check-ins or people who prefer written dialogue. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility challenges.
