About Gemma
Gemma Lillington offers a welcoming, professional counselling practice for people facing emotional and life challenges. She greets clients with care and respect and aims to help them find practical ways forward. Gemma works with issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship concerns.
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and difficulties like sleeping or eating problems. Gemma uses an integrative approach, which means she draws on a range of therapies and tailors sessions to each person.
Background and approach
That might include exploring patterns from the past, learning new thinking skills, or practising present-moment awareness. Sessions move at a pace the client feels comfortable with and focus on both understanding and practical strategies. In a typical session Gemma listens first, then helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings.
She balances talking about feelings with exercises and tools to manage symptoms and cope with change. That makes therapy both reflective and action oriented. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years' experience working with a range of concerns.
Gemma provides support in English from the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. People using her service can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit the client's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gemma will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what helps. This is a collaborative process where therapy is adjusted to match needs and preferences over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in style and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
