About Gemma Gatward

Gemma Gatward is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings eight years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting challenges and depression, and she has substantial experience supporting those affected by childhood trauma. Gemma approaches each person with sensitivity, respect and compassion, shaping conversations and care plans to fit the unique needs of each individual rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.

Her therapeutic work is grounded in a client-centered approach that prioritizes the person’s perspective and pace, and she aims to create a space where taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life feels possible. Recognising that beginning therapy takes courage, Gemma offers steady support through that process and collaborates with clients to identify practical next steps and personal goals.

Gemma holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standing within the UK counselling field. She maintains regular availability during stated hours and tailors session formats and plans to meet individual circumstances.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and life transitions - online therapy is often as effective as traditional in-person work, offering comparable support for many individuals.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in whatever format suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life or challenging schedule.

All sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients may choose to change therapists if they feel a different match would be more helpful. Online therapy can broaden access to consistent, ongoing support while allowing people to engage in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
