About me and my therapy practice

Gemma Pettit Psychotherapy & Consulting

My foundational training is a MSc in Person Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy which means I work alongside you, holding you as  the expert on your own life whilst integrating my training in psychotherapy. Together we create a space that offers a chance to explore relationship difficulties, difficult experiences, patterns of behaviour and an opportunity to increase self awareness. 

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

In my practice, I work with a range of mental health presentations including: 

Abuse,

Addiction,

ADHD, 

Adult children of addicts,

Anxiety, 

BPD,

Depression,

Body image and Disordered Eating, 

Bereavement & Grief

Co-dependency & Enmeshment,

Gender and Identity Issues,

Sensory Processing Sensitivity (highly sensitive people: HSP) 

PTSD & CPTSD

My first session

Making Contact

You are welcome to contact me via my website or email to enquire about starting therapy and to set up a free 15 minute call. If you’d like to go ahead then we will set up a time for the therapeutic assessment. I offer a free 15 minute call to all new enquiries.

Initial Session - The Therapeutic Assessment.

This initial session is an opportunity for us to meet one another. It is a chance for you to share more what brings you to therapy as well as to meet me and check that you feel comfortable talking to me.

During this session, I will ask some questions about your background and your lifestyle to gain a better understanding of what type of therapy might be most effective. I will also be checking to ensure that the problems you bring to therapy are within the limit of my competence. If for whatever reason I don’t feel able to work with you, then I will be happy to advise on where I think you might find a more appropriate support for your needs.

At the end of this assessment, we will agree upon the type of therapy, and if short term, a proposed number of sessions. Before this session I will also give you a copy of my working agreement. This contract outlines the boundaries and administrative parts of the relationship. At this point, I ask that you take 24 hours to consider whether or not you would like to engage with the therapy. If you decide to go ahead, then I ask you to sign the working agreement and return that to me by the first session.

About me and my therapy practice

Gemma Pettit Psychotherapy & Consulting

Welcome. My ethos is that your mental health is as important as your physical health and deserving of the upmost respect and safety in choosing to access support for it.

My foundational training is a MSc in Person Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy which means I work alongside you, holding you as the expert on your own life whilst integrating my training in psychotherapy. Together we create a space that offers a chance to explore relationship difficulties, difficult experiences, patterns of behaviour and an opportunity to increase self awareness.

In some cases, I may recommend a few sessions of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) as part of your psychotherapy. I believe EMDR can be a useful addition to the psychotherapeutic relationship to target specific traumatic incidents or negative beliefs about ourselves. Unlike talking therapy, EMDR follows a formulated, 8 step process that targets the negative images, emotions, beliefs and body sensations associated with traumatic memories that seem to be stuck.

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

In my practice, I work with a range of mental health presentations including:

Abuse,

ADHD,

Addiction,

Adult children of addicts,

Depression,

Body image and Disordered Eating,
