About Gemma
Gemma "Phoebe" Harris is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Phoebe focuses on creating a calm space to talk about depression, anxiety, stress and other concerns.
She aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. Phoebe uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, understanding, and helping people find their own solutions.
Background and approach
She offers straightforward support for grief, relationship strain, intimacy-related worries and feelings of emptiness. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, abuse and bipolar-related issues, along with long-term conditions such as chronic pain and autoimmune illness. Phoebe also has experience with neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD, and with issues related to gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns.
Practical matters such as sleep problems, anger and parenting stress are also within her scope. She can help people who are coping with major life changes or caregiver strain, and those dealing with guilt, shame or forgiveness. Phoebe offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

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
Phoebe’s practical experience with long-term health conditions, neurodiversity and trauma means she can adapt the client-centred method to different situations. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which ways of working feel most helpful, and adjust sessions based on your goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a short check-in and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility needs.
