I’m Gemma, a person‑centred counsellor and psychotherapist based in Glasgow, offering online sessions throughout the UK. I’m also the therapist behind Willow Path Counselling and Psychotherapy. Thank you for visiting my site. I know there are many therapists out there, and it can feel overwhelming to find someone who feels right for you.

I offer a welcoming space where you can explore whatever you’re experiencing in a supportive and understanding way. My aim is to hear and understand you in an empathetic, steady way that helps you navigate what feels important at your own pace. 

Human connection and authenticity are at the heart of how I work. Everyone I meet brings something unique, and I value the honesty and depth that can emerge as people make sense of their world. I’m also mindful of the wider systems and pressures that can shape how we feel, and I hold space for the impact they can have- including the demands of academic environments. 

As a person-centred therapist, and my work is based on meeting you as you are: without pressure to explain everything perfectly or know exactly where to begin. Therapy with me is not about rushing you towards answers, but creating space to notice what feels difficult, confusing, or unresolved at your own pace. I aim to offer a steady, genuine presence so you don’t have to hold everything alone.

I often work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin and while I work with a wide range of experiences including neurodivergence, grief, and trauma. I aim to support the way you process, whether through conversation, creativity, silence, or sensory materials: whatever feels grounding and useful for you.

I have over 17 years of experience in supportive roles across education and social care, walking alongside people through many different challenges. I also have lived experience (both personally and through those close to me) which has shaped the way I understand struggle, resilience, and the need for genuine connection. Eventually, training as a counsellor felt like a natural next step, allowing me to work with people in a more focused and intentional way. 

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Strathclyde. Additionally, I have also completed training in Online and Telephone Counselling, which means I am certified to work safely and effectively online and by phone

Getting started…

I really want you to find a therapist who feels like a good fit for you, so I offer a free 15‑minute chat over the phone or online. This gives us both a chance to get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.

If you decide you’d like to begin therapy with me, we can arrange a session. Sessions are up to an hour long and cost £50. I also keep a small number of reduced‑fee spaces (£35) for students and people on lower incomes. If this would help make therapy more accessible, please feel free to get in touch and we can talk it through.

I currently have online availability on Wednesdays, and I offer Saturday sessions which can be online, in person, or by telephone. The therapy room I work from is a five‑minute walk from Glasgow Central Station.

Accessibility If you’re planning to come in person, the building has a few stairs up to the main entrance. My room is on the first floor, and there’s a small lift available. If you have any accessibility needs or adjustments that would help you feel comfortable, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate them.

If this way of working feels like it might be for you… please get in touch, I would love to hear from you.
