Gemma
Smith
Chester
Gemma is a DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) informed and integrative Arts Psychotherapist grounded in the understanding of early attachment and relationships and how these are connected to people's present difficulties. She believes in the importance of the relationship between the therapist and the client. Finding the most appropriate and tailored way of working together for long lasting, meaningful results.
She is HCPC registered and has several years’ experience of working with adults and children in primary care, the charity sector and health and social care. Gemma also has extensive experience working with clients who have a history of trauma, anxiety & depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, bereavement, loss & separation, social isolation & loneliness, domestic abuse & coercive control, OCD, identity, fostering & adoption, health issues, life transitions, feelings of sadness and dissatisfaction with life.
DDP can be a helpful approach to improve the family unit and relationships within it. Gemma can work with parents and children both jointly and separately, whilst also working with adults and couples. She uses Art therapy which is a useful approach to support and deepen the therapeutic process and can also help if clients struggle to verbalise their emotions and feelings (no art experience is needed). These approaches can be stand alone or used collaboratively. However, regardless of the approach she endeavours to offer a safe and open therapy space for clients to explore and process the struggles they may be facing.
Gemma offers face to face and online sessions, and can also provide supervision to both qualified and Art therapists in training.
