Jemma Newman

Hello, my name is Jemma and I see clients online as well as at my counselling practice is in Epsom, Surrey where I have a dedicated, comfortable and safe counselling space. I have a small cat called Luna, and whilst she's very friendly, she mainly stays out of the counselling room, so as not to disturb client sessions.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and see clients at my practice or online at various times throughout the week, including evening and Saturday appointments.

As an integrative counsellor I can draw on theory from various therapeutic modalities, and this means I can meet your needs as a client and offer you a calm, compassionate environment where you won't be judged. You do not have to be facing a crisis to want to attend counselling, and instead may be feeling dissatisfied with an aspect of your life and feel that therapy may enable you to develop strategies for living.

As I'm a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and as a BACP member, I am committed to working ethically and to high professional standards.

There is no one type of person that benefits from counselling and I welcome the opportunity to work with you regardless of your culture, religion, gender, age or sexual orientation. Please do feel free to get in touch or visit my website for more information.

I am able to see clients from anywhere within the UK online or have a safe comfortable practice in my home in Epsom, Surrey. 

Counselling involves speaking to a trained professional often about things from the past that may be impacting you in the present as well as stressful or challenging situations you may be facing now. I do my best to enable you to look at your issues, and liberate yourself from old scripts or ways of being that are holding you back.

This can take different amounts of time for different people, as we are all unique, therefore the number of sessions I offer is open ended.

There are many areas where counselling may be helpful and some of these are -

• Self esteem
• Relationships
• Addiction
• Stress
• Coping with change
• Bereavement
• Abuse (past & present)
• Issues of identity

I offer the chance to have a free, no obligation 15-20 minute introductory call so that you can understand more about me and how I work, and so that I can carry out a short assessment with you, to ensure I am the right therapist for you.  If we do decide to work together we will spend some time in the first session discussing the terms of our sessions so that we can ensure we work together ethically and safely. The first session is also an opportunity for you to help me understand why you have chosen to attend therapy.
