About Gemma
Gemma Morley is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people notice and work through difficult feelings. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Gemma adapts her way of working to fit each person.
She starts by listening and building a genuine relationship so someone feels able to share what matters to them. From there she and the client decide together how to proceed.
Background and approach
Alongside person-centred practice, Gemma draws on a range of creative and practical methods. This can include talk therapy, guided mindfulness exercises, or simple role play to try out different responses. She may suggest art-based activities such as drawing, painting, sand trays or creative writing when words are hard to find.
Those who prefer a straightforward conversation can stay with talking alone. The creative options are offered only if they feel useful and comfortable for the client. Gemma will explain any suggested activity and check it fits the person’s needs.
Her practice often focuses on everyday pressures like workplace issues, low self-esteem, panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns connected to attachment, abandonment, body image, guilt or shame, jealousy and self-harm. Gemma has five years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works in the United Kingdom and sees clients in English.

Approaches Gemma lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Gemma also offers creative ways into a session when words feel hard. Creative activities such as drawing, painting, sand tray use or creative writing can reveal feelings, images and patterns that talking alone might not reach. These options are suggested collaboratively and only used when they suit the person's needs and preferences.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Gemma will work with you to choose each step based on your goals, comfort and what feels most useful. She will explain suggested methods and adapt them as the work progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in, while messaging and live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
