About Gemma
Gemma Collins is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with three years of professional experience in the UK. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and low mood. Gemma aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to work alongside clients as they begin change.
Her practice centres on listening and responding to each person's story. She treats clients as the expert in their lives and builds on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and down-to-earth, with space to talk about what matters most right now. Gemma often helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, problems with self-esteem, and challenges around motivation and confidence. She also supports people facing major life changes and the ripple effects those events bring.
Practical coping skills are combined with time to reflect on meaning and next steps. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, chronic pain, illness and disability, communication problems, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, self-love and workplace issues. Gemma adapts conversation to the topic and the person rather than following a rigid script.
Her sessions are suitable for people who want an empathic listener and practical ways to manage daily pressures. She encourages small, achievable goals and regular review of progress so work stays relevant to each person's life.

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 works collaboratively to find the right approach for each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will decide how to structure sessions and tasks between meetings.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Chat and messaging can suit quick reflections, shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life while still focusing on practical steps and personal progress.
