Gemma Harris

I currently have some availability for individual, psychosexual and relationship clients.

My working hours are 8:30 am - 8:30 pm Monday to Friday and 8:30-1:00pm Saturday

I am an Integrative Therapist and Coach with experience of each client's multi-faceted, complex and changing needs. I offer Therapy, Coaching or Personal Consultancy (a model which blends the therapeutic and coaching worlds to assist clients to resolve issues and achieve goals).

As an integrated therapist, I can draw on a number of approaches to assist us in our work to ensure that you receive a bespoke service which can address your needs. I offer help with any area that is problematic for you - from trauma, loss, family or work issues.

I have a comfortable and light therapy space in which we can work together and I employ a creative as well as theoretical approach. I offer an initial telephone consultation or a short initial session with no obligation to see how we fit.

My approach is client led and is informed by you and your preferred ways of working and learning, in order that you receive a service that works for you.  Together we create an alliance where you can be supported to explore, and assisted in moving to where you want to be.

Qualifications:

I have a BSc (Hons) in psychology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching

In addition to my core training, I also have:

Advanced Certificate in Executive Coaching

CICS Professional Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy

CICS Certificate in Relationship Therapy

ADHD Clinical Services Provider

I regularly research and undertake additional courses to add to my knowledge and skills which includes a specific interest in trauma therapy and personality disorders

Walking therapy

As well as traditional therapy, I also offer walking therapy where, after an initial session, we undertake our sessions outside, walking in a traffic free area. This can allow you to discuss your issues more freely and can help anxious clients who find the confines of a therapy room problematic, however I also have a relaxing therapy space in which we can work together.

Relationship therapy

I am experienced and qualified in working with relationships to help you to achieve a harmonious and health relationship

Psychosexual therapy

I provide therapeutic services relating to issues with gender, sexuality, and issues with intimate relationships.

Coaching services:

Alternatively, if you have a goal that you wish to achieve, either personally or professionally, it is vital you find someone who can bring energy, enthusiasm and pragmatism to your sessions. I am an experienced coach with a high success rate working with some wonderful people who have achieved amazing things.

Personal consultancy services:

Personal consultancy is a new approach which seamlessly blends the therapy and coaching disciplines and allows the flexibility to work in the past, present and future. It bridges the gaps in therapy and coaching which delineate their scope. Personal consultancy sessions are a little longer than traditional therapy sessions, lasting from 60-75 minutes.

ADHD Coaching

I provide ADHD coaching which can either be self funded or, where applicable, funded by the DWP or your employer

Clients with auto immune/long term health conditions

I offer support to those who are diagnosed with auto immune or chronic conditions; often invisible but life altering and difficult to manage.

Corporate coaching, seminars and workshops

I also have experience in the corporate space and provide seminars and workshops on a number of issues including anxiety management, managing overwhelm, overcoming negative self talk, managing change, as well as executive and leadership coaching.

I offer a short (30-40 minute) introductory session, free of charge.  In this session I can talk you through my ways of working and contract, and we can then discuss your needs.

The purpose of this session is for you to determine if you think we could work well together, but also for you to experience the therapy set up you will receive should you wish to become a client.

There is no obligation to book sessions unless and until you would like to work with me
