New StepsTherapy

"I would highly recommend Gemma. She has been a great help for my 10 year old son. She has helped my son to understand his feelings / anxiety and has helped him and me as a parent to cope with a variety of situations which we had found challenging to manage. It has been extremely helpful to put a little distance between parent and child in trying to deal with feelings/behaviour. This has alll been achieved in a non judgemental and supportive way,. It has significantly helped my son to feel in control and have the confidence to deal with situations he would have previously found challenging. It has also helped me to understand how I can best support my son."

"Gemma has been my counsellor for the last 4 years and without a doubt she has transformed my way of thinking and therefore my life. Gemma is professional and applies great theory and empathy skills to each session. I'm really pleased to have met Gemma and thankful for her help and support throughout my struggles. I recommend Gemma 100%."

"My first impression of Gemma was a great one. My 6 year old daughter, at the time, could be a little shy and Gemma dealt with this brilliantly. My daughter got to the point that she could speak to Gemma about her bed wetting which was amazing. Gemma really helped my daughter to explore the problem in a unique way and to get to understand herself on a deeper level, which I didn't realise would happen. The sessions helped her so much that she was able to wake herself up in the night, and not wet. She had a small relapse but is now dry every night. Thanks Gemma!"

"Gemma is a skilled and sensitive practitioner who steered a skeptical child out of anxiety."

"My 6 year old daughter has always been very scared of dogs, and after another awful summer avoiding parks and beaches I decided I had to do something. I did some research and found New Steps Therapy and went to see Gemma, somewhat skeptically I have to admit. Well, after 6 sessions my daughter is transformed. Her Grandmother has a puppy, and I have watched my daughter progress from being unable to stand next to or to touch the puppy without support, to playing happily and confidently with the puppy and telling me she is no longer scared of dogs. I don't understand how it works, but it does- we are so glad we found Gemma and gave this a try as to see our daughter so confident and happy is a joy. It 100% worked for us."
