Gemma Autumn

I (she/her) am an accredited integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, wild therapist and practising artist from London, UK. I have lived internationally in London, New York, Doha, Italy, Geneva and Berlin and can sympathise with the many challenges of living and working abroad.

I work with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, low self-esteem, relationships, divorce, life direction, stress, burnout, trauma, attachment, creative blocks, insecurity, intimacy issues, abuse, sexuality, OCD, religion, cults, body issues, family problems, money stories, spiritual disconnection, psychedelic integration, phone addiction, retirement, living abroad, IVF and fertility including the decision to become a solo mother by choice.

My training covered children, adolescents and adult treatments. This is important because so often when we are looking at our core wounds they are the conflicts of the inner child. These are the changes we make to ourselves at a young age to try and feel safe and loved. These adaptations and defence mechanisms developed in childhood may now feel limiting in adult life.

There are many different therapy approaches, but studies show it is the therapeutic relationship that mostly effects outcomes. So, when choosing a therapist, contact a few to see what feels right for you. Who feels comfortable to talk to? Who do you feel can hold the enormity of emotions? If you're wondering if this could be a good fit, please get in touch.

As an integrative therapist I have various healing modalities to draw from including art therapy, drama therapy, attachment theory, person-centred approach, Gestalt, body work and existential therapy. My training in Wild Therapy means I am also qualified to practise outdoors in nature.

Insurance: I take Aviva, WPA, Cigna, BUPA and Vitality insurance policies.
