Helping you understand your mind and move forward — with CBT for depression, anxiety, and everyday overwhelm.

About Me

Hi, and welcome! I’m Gemma- a fully accredited CBT therapist with the BABCP and currently working within NHS Talking Therapies, helping people navigate challenges with anxiety, depression, and everything in between.

My approach is one of genuine warmth, collaboration, and is grounded in evidence-based CBT. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy — I believe in meeting people where they are and tailoring tools that genuinely support change.

Farmstead Therapy was inspired by a love for the countryside and my background as part of the rural and agricultural community. While I’m deeply attuned to the specific challenges of rural life, my practice is open to people from all walks of life — anyone seeking a thoughtful, non-judgemental space to do meaningful work on their mental health.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure where to start — you’re not alone. You’ve already taken the first step.
