About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Gabz (she/her) (Gabrielle officially, but everybody calls me Gabz!)
I am a Â鶹Դ´ registered person centred counsellor and psychotherapist offering online therapy sessions via Zoom.
I have a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Distinction) from Keele University meaning that I am a level 7 qualified practitioner.
I have been offering therapy to clients since 2019 in a variety of settings including charities and schools. I opened my private therapy practice in 2022 and take pride in offering my clients a warm, non-judgmental, explorative, confidential space, to offload and process life experiences.
I also currently teach trainee therapists on a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy programme at a local University.
I am looking to restart face to face therapy sessions as soon as I can find a therapy space suitable, as I am no longer able to offer sessions from my home office.
Practice description
My experience as a counsellor and therapist is hugely varied. I work with clients in any area of their lives they so wish to explore.
Being a person centred therapist means that I believe that with the right therapeutic conditions and relationship with your therapist individuals can develop a greater understanding of themself and in turn self-acceptance. This can lead to personal growth and change and ultimately allowing clients to embrace their authentic self.
I am a therapist that will not only sit and nod, I like to ask my clients questions and when needed provide gentle challenge and curiosity. Person centred therapy means that I do not use tools and worksheets and I will never give you 'homework'. I can work in a solution focussed way if there is something you would like to directly work on.
My practice is centred around each individual client and the relationship we grow together, I feel very privileged to work as a therapist and work with people who are sometimes, at their most vulnerable, most joyous, most despairing or most lost.
As a person and therapist I hope to foster a welcoming presence, I work with all individuals and promote an anti-discriminatory practice.

My first session
If you decide from our 20 minute initial free consultation Zoom or Telephone call that you would like to work with me, we will arrange a time and date for our first 50 minute therapy session.
Before our first session I will send you a document that includes our therapy contract. The therapy contract outlines what you can expect from me as your therapist such as confidentiality and GDPR information. The contract will also require you to input your name, address, doctors details and an emergency contact. This document will also outline payment details and cancellation policies. This will need to be signed by myself and you before we start working together.
This way in your first 50 minute session we can get started and no time is taken up filling in forms, we can get straight to what you want to talk about.
