Whether you're carrying something heavy, feeling like you've never quite fitted the world's expectations, or living a life that looks fine from the outside — and wondering why it doesn't feel it.
You're not broken. You might just need a different kind of conversation.
Anxiety, burnout, PTSD, panic, trauma — the weight of a life that's been harder than it should have been. The standard approaches have helped a little, but haven't touched the deeper thing underneath.
Too much for some people, not quite enough for others. Drawn to ideas the mainstream hasn't caught up with yet. Tired of trying to fit a framework that was never designed for someone like you.
Your life, by any reasonable measure, is good. And yet — there's a persistent gap between how things look and how they feel. A sense of something unlived, something yours that you haven't found yet.
What these three things have in common: the ordinary map isn't working. And you're ready to look at a different one.
In my darkest hour she stood by me and led me to the light. I trust her with my soul.
— Truesician, UKI feel like I have purpose. I feel like someone understands me, and I can talk and not be judged.
— Ruth, UKIt doesn't feel like a therapy session — it's simply chatting with a friend. I recommend her to everyone.
— JF, UKNot a programme. Not a protocol. A genuine, unhurried inquiry into you — your specific, irreducible, cosmically unique design. Most people don't need to be fixed. They need to be understood at a depth that most conversations never reach.
I bring MSc Applied Psychology, training in CBT, ACT, NLP and trauma — and I bring Andean cosmological tradition, ecotherapy, and twenty years of following strange ideas to their conclusions. The clinical and the human. The evidence base and the wisdom tradition. All of it, in the room with you.
MSc Applied Psychology, CBT, ACT, NLP, trauma and addiction — a rigorous scientific foundation for everything we do.
Ecotherapy and walk-and-talk sessions in nature. Sometimes the deepest breakthroughs happen in the open air.
Andean wisdom tradition and energy anatomy — the wider human story that psychology alone doesn't tell.
Anxiety, burnout, PTSD, panic — the weight of a life that's asked too much of you. You've kept going. Let's look honestly at what that's cost, and what it's quietly given you.
You've always been a bit different. Sensitive, internal, drawn to things other people don't quite see. That difference is not the problem. It might be the whole point.
Your life looks fine. Maybe even good. But there's a gap between how things appear and how they feel. This is one of the most common things I work with — and one of the least talked about.
A relaxed, no-pressure 30-minute conversation. No clinical assessment, no obligation. Just an honest chat to see if this feels right.
If we're a good fit, we'll create an approach built entirely around you — your goals, your pace, your life. Nothing off-the-shelf.
Sessions are 60 minutes, online or in person. Between sessions, real shifts start happening. This is where change begins.
"I've been having monthly sessions with Gemma for over 2 years. Before starting, I felt stuck and unsure of who I really was. Each session provides a safe space to untangle thoughts, reconnect with values, and take steps toward an authentic, fulfilling life. I've regained confidence, direction, and a sense of purpose. I now make choices aligned with who I truly am."
Working together for 2+ years
"Gemma is a calm, considerate and very knowledgeable life coach who listens carefully and adapts to the needs of others very quickly and sensitively. Her insights have helped me to survive. She is generous with her time and her knowledge and I continue to be grateful to her."
Ruth — "I had lost my identity, and needed help to find myself again."
"Go for it. You live one life and it's not a rehearsal."
"Because of your mentorship, you have helped me find my potential and led me to a new version 2.0 of myself."
Working online internationally
I'm an eccentric introvert with an MSc in Applied Psychology and a lifelong fascination with the stranger edges of consciousness, nature, and what it actually means to be human. I've been through a brain injury, PTSD, and the slow, strange work of building an identity from scratch. I know what it costs to keep going. And I know what's possible on the other side.
My trauma psychologist once said: "Through all the adversity, you just kept walking." That became the name.
