About Gemma
Gemma Louise Alabi helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief and concerns about eating and self-esteem. She also supports parents and people navigating ADHD, and those coping with panic, postpartum low mood, or life changes. Gemma is named up front to make it clear who you would be working with.
Gemma uses straightforward, conversational sessions where the client leads the pace. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to build practical steps that feel manageable between sessions. Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, plus mindfulness and solution-focused tools. That mix lets her balance listening and practical planning.
Sessions can include noticing difficult thoughts, trying small changes, and checking what helps. Gemma has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Gemma asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule sessions based on her availability through the Start Therapy button.
People who want a calm, practical approach often choose Gemma for support while they work towards clearer routines, steadier moods and more confident decision making.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gemma will talk with people about goals and preferences and together decide whether to emphasise listening, CBT tools or brief solution-focused steps. That choice is reviewed as progress is made so the method fits the person's needs.
Online therapy lets people join sessions from wherever is most convenient. Video calls are useful when non-verbal feedback matters, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible around work, childcare and busy schedules, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
