Welcome to Gemma Pettit Psychotherapy & COnsulting

Psychotherapy & Mental Health Consulting from A UKCP & BACP Registered Practitioner.

Welcome. Each person has their own reason and motivation for entering therapy and they are all valid: You do not need to be in crisis to access support. We all have mental health and a right to look after it. I hope this website will provide answers to some of the questions you may have when deciding if therapy* is right for you.

Some of the areas I work with include: Addiction, ADHD, Adult children of Addiction, Anxiety, Autism, Body Image & Disordered Eating, Bereavement & Grief, Co-dependency, Depression, Relationship difficulties, Sensory processing sensitivity (highly sensitive people), Stress, Survivors of sexual assault, Survivors of emotional or physical abuse and trauma.

Psychotherapy & Counselling

Confidential Face to Face Sessions with an Experienced Practitioner.

“Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?” Carl Rogers

My intention is to provide a space & therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe enough to explore and make sense of your feelings, thoughts and relationships, including the one with yourself.

My foundational training is an MSc from The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in Person Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy. This means that I work with you as the expert of your own life to help re-frame and process your experiences to promote better mental health, self awareness & wellbeing.

Where appropriate, I offer an integration of psycho-education & psychological theory to help increase understanding of attachment style, a deeper understanding of emotions and generational patterns of behaviour.

I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement & Desensitisation & Reprocessing) which I offer to clients I feel might benefit from this specific technique in addition to talking therapy. For more information on EMDR Please click here.

Your safety and confidentiality are always at the centre of my work. 

​I offer both short and long-term therapy to suit the clients needs and budgets.

Mental Health Consulting, Mental Health Training & Workshops

Advocating for best practice in business

I am passionate about encouraging properly regulated, high level mental health support within organisations as I believe this promotes success in the most productive, sustainable and ethical way for both employees and business providers.

​I am strategically minded and possess a unique talent for assessing company needs and working to balance them within the best mental health interests of the individual.

Together we will work to assess the impact mental health is having on your company and look at a range of possible solutions. These might include trainings, workshops or some 1-1 executive coaching.

Some of the companies I have delivered corporate services to include Law firms, Human Rights Organisation, Schools, Media Companies, Public & Private Sector Industries.

I hold public liability and professional indemnity insurance. I offer the upmost confidentiality in all my services.
