About Gemma Pattison
Gemma Pattison is a UK-credentialed counsellor with more than eight years of professional experience supporting children, young people and adults facing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. She has worked with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship problems, family conflict, bereavement, trauma and various forms of abuse, drawing on a breadth of clinical experience to tailor support to each person.
She works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own life and that people already have strengths they can call on to overcome what challenges them. Gemma recognises that taking the first step into therapy takes courage and that the process can feel uncomfortable at times; she aims to acknowledge those feelings while offering steady, respectful support.
Her approach is predominantly person-centered, providing a non-judgmental space for exploring thoughts and feelings, while also using an integrative range of therapeutic tools to enhance the work. Gemma holds BACP accreditation - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and she communicates with clients by video, telephone and chat, consistently responding to messages as part of ongoing care. She looks forward to supporting people who choose to begin this work.

This range of options makes it easier to schedule regular sessions and to maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
Licensed professionals and therapists deliver care remotely and many make it simple to try a different practitioner if a different fit is needed. For those weighing whether online therapy is right for them, this approach can provide convenient access to skilled support while accommodating the demands of daily life.
