Psychotherapy
Each person and their unique experience contributes to the complex tapestry of who we are. Whether rooted in childhood, shaped by trauma, entwined with questions of gender and sexuality, shadowed by anxiety, or marked by the spectrum of neurodiversity, pr the overwhelm of the day-to-day your life can be impacted.
In the safety of my therapy room, or a space online that works for you, we embark on a journey to explore and process the threads of your life story together.
Your experiences are acknowledged, your life story is respected, and your growth is embraced you are held with care.
Areas I specialise in:
In the realm of therapy, your concerns, questions, and experiences are as varied as the colors in a kaleidoscope. There's no predetermined checklist, no predefined mold—your unique journey is the guide. If your specific concern doesn't neatly fit into a list, fret not. The essence of therapy lies in creating a safe and open space where you can explore the intricacies of your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
LGBTQIA+
Navigating the complexities of gender, sexuality, and the LGBTQIA+ spectrum can be both empowering and challenging. In this space, you are understood without the need for explanations. Whether it's self-acceptance, coming out, or seeking a therapist who shares the lived LGBTQIA+ experience, we are here to support you on your journey.
ADHD
Living with ADHD, whether personally or supporting a loved one, comes with its unique set of joys and challenges. Jemma Wilkinson, a therapist with lived ADHD experience, offers understanding, guidance, and a safe space for individuals seeking support for late diagnoses, self-acceptance, and strategies for navigating daily life.
Anxiety
Anxiety, in its various forms, can cast shadows over daily life. Whether it's persistent worries, sudden panic, or physical sensations that disrupt your peace, we work collaboratively to explore, understand, and develop coping strategies to manage anxiety's impact on your well-being.
Psychosis
Under the umbrella of psychosis, encompassing conditions like Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder, we provide a supportive environment for individuals experiencing episodes of altered perception, extreme mood changes, and the challenges that follow. Together, we navigate the path to stability and understanding.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Beyond superficial routines, OCD can manifest as intrusive thoughts and rituals driven by the fear of dire consequences. In therapy, we delve into these patterns, offering support to alleviate distress and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or C-PTSD
The aftermath of traumatic experiences can cast a long shadow on mental well-being. Symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, nightmares, and sleep disturbances are acknowledged and addressed with compassion and specialized support.
Childhood Trauma
Childhood trauma, encompassing various forms of adversity, is approached with sensitivity and care. In therapy, we work together to navigate the impact of neglect, abandonment, sexual abuse, or physical abuse, fostering healing and resilience.
