What my coaching clients say

“Before I started working with Gemma I felt pretty overwhelmed with no end in sight. I was taking on far too much and small things were making me spiral a bit. Since working with her I feel a lot more prepared and feel like my emotions are more regulated. People talk about having an emotional toolkit and I never knew what they were talking about, but I genuinely feel as though I’m better able to cope with life now. I have had realisations through our work that have made me a different person. I have told friends about working with Gemma and my exact words were “Gemma changed my life” and “Gemma is a magician”. I honestly don’t know what it is you do, but whatever it is- it works.”

“I truly could not recommend Gemma more highly. I was feeling lost career-wise, had been suffering from self-esteem issues and was looking to find greater purpose in what I did on a day-to-day basis. In such a short space of time, Gemma boosted my mind and outlook in immeasurable ways, and I say that as someone who had never tried therapy in any previous guise. For anyone wanting to understand themselves whilst proactively manifesting how they alter their mind and life, Gemma’s Neuro-Linguistic Programming method is the one. Gemma was my ’spotter’ and kept me to account in making the necessary changes in my life. As someone who naturally procrastinates, I am so glad I made the decision to book this course. Gemma is a confidant, champion and life coach rolled into one. I can’t thank her enough!”

“After experiencing a pretty low year, I was desperate for a change. My mental health had taken a battering and talking therapy had left me feeling more upset than I was when I started. Gemma came *highly* recommended and I’m honestly astounded and how different I feel in under 3 months. I genuinely feel like a new human being. Together we worked on shifting my perspectives around all aspects of my life; from motherhood to work, and even did a hypnosis session on my fear of vomiting which has changed the game. If you’re on the fence just do it. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made in my mental health. Thank you Gemma! x”

“I found Gemma as I knew she had worked with people in my network and they raved about her. Working with Gemma has been a massive game changer for me. I have gone through years of CBT, talking therapy and coaching and Gemma has taught me more in the sessions than I have learnt in 10 years. What is different about the way I have worked with her, is how I have integrated so many of the tools that Gemma has taught me into my life making a massive difference to how I feel on a daily basis.”

“When we started, I felt incredibly lost; going through a big transition career wise, struggling with grief, lost my identity since becoming a mum. I didn’t know how I was going to figure this muddle. Until I met you. Now, I have direction, I feel empowered, I have confidence, and I have my own business. If you want clarity, direction, and actually want to deal with issues head on and overcome them for once and all, Gemma is the coach for you. Gemma has changed my life, given me my spark back. She’s helped me finally understand my past, my fears and move forward. I have got more out of my sessions with Gemma, than I have in 10 years of Therapy. Honestly life changing.”

“The program has changed my life! Her solutions focused approach helped me find the forward momentum I was looking for and equipped me with tools to help me get out of my head and back into the present. Somehow, before the first hour had ended, Gemma had helped me start to lift the weight of expectations and personal circumstances I had been carrying for years. The program is an extremely helpful way to understand your own thoughts and how they help or hinder you and it gives you the tools to challenge unhelpful ways of thinking to get out of your own way. As a coach Gemma has been invaluable, she is amazing at what she does but I have equal appreciation for her kindness and generosity.”

“I felt like a shell of myself and was constantly anxious and every day was difficult. Since we worked together, my confidence and self-esteem has significantly increased. I have also had the confidence to make real, tangible changes to my life to shape things to suit me and what I want. I cannot tell you how much happier I am, and how my life feels more in control. I recommended you to a friend and simply said “I feel like myself again’. Thank you so much Gemma for everything. I really cannot believe how much of a change there has been from January to now. Life was very, very difficult this time last year, and I am so grateful for our sessions together as they really pulled me out of that hole.”

“Before working with Gemma, I was at the end of my tether with my anxiety, low self-worth and a stressful work environment. This changed my perspective on so many things that I previously thought were impossible to change. I would recommend you to people who are struggling with anxiety and have tried talking therapy without getting the change they crave or results they hoped for. I found Gemma to be kind, compassionate and gentle whilst having conviction and an assuredness in everything she has shared with me. I trust Gemma and always felt like I was in a safe space to share things and the result was the perfect balance of guidance and collaboration. I feel so different than I did before I started and that is truly down to Gemma and her work. “

“I would say that if you have perhaps tried other therapy or counselling routes and found little change, give this a go instead. These are massive shifts, and when I stop to really think about how much has changed in just six sessions, it’s quite incredible. Spending less time on the why is really liberating as in some other therapies I’ve left a session actually feeling worse and had zero motivation to make change in my life. Whereas with this programme, I felt better after every session with no exception and looked forward to the next one because of how positive, confident, and more knowledgeable I felt every time. The best thing is that people around me have noticed these changes too, and that really is testament to the quality of the sessions.”

“Working with Gemma has had a such a big impact on my core relationships and has helped me to remove obstacles and create space to truly be myself. After my sessions with her I feel lighter and more free. I wasn’t expecting to experience such a big mental shift in such a short space of time, but her simple tips and tricks and reframing of situations have made big feelings so much more manageable and I noticed a difference in my behaviours and overall mental state almost immediately. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a change or who needs a bit of help in figuring out how to be the best version of themselves.”

“What I have learnt through working with Gemma is how to not worry about what happened before. That was not my story. What matters now is my story and my journey and that that story and journey is happy. And also understanding why I allowed what happened to happen and why, and never let it happen again. I have learnt to love myself, warts and all. And I have realized that I don’t have to please everyone. If you are thinking about working with Gemma just do it.”

“I decided to see Gemma for hypnosis after struggling with extreme claustrophobia for over two years. After just one session, I haven’t hesitated once to get on any form of transport, and even managed to sit comfortably in the middle of an extremely busy tube carriage without a second thought. Nor have I had any panic attacks or feelings of anxiety since our session. The session was a far cry from anything I had imagined hypnosis to be, and I felt fully in control for the entire time. After the session, it felt like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I cannot recommend Gemma enough and would encourage anyone struggling with any form of phobia or anxiety to give it a try.”

“Since working with Gemma I feel calm and quiet in my own headspace. I no longer feel overwhelmed and anxious.I’ve got the confidence back to appreciate myself in a way I did not before. I am much more content in a way I didn’t think was possible. I now think I’ve got the tools to go out and find what purpose I really want to find in life. I’ve developed an internal strength that has massively changed the narrative I tell myself in my head.I’ve learnt to be more present in myself and think about what I need rather than the needs of others. I absolutely loved working with her. I’m in such a better place than when we started.”

“Working with Gemma, was the unblocker to me living the next stage of my life. Because of our sessions I’m going to have a second baby and approach the same situation again with an action plan to fall back along with improved problem solving abilities. I looked forward to our sessions and already felt a huge sense of relief after the first session.”

“After 10 years of living with anxiety I was ready to make a change. I didn’t expect that I would be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel so quickly. Gemma has given me some incredibly valuable tools to manage my own anxiety whilst being such a supportive figure to me. I was in a constant battle with anxiety and panic and in such a short time she managed to show me how to let go of it. It now no longer dictates my days. Gemma was also able to support and coach me around a huge decision in my life, a decision I know I needed to make but fear was stopping me.”

“When I met Gemma, I felt lost – in my career, relationship, what I wanted from life. I feel like I’ve learnt to understand myself more, how to feel like an authentic version of myself and present myself in a way that highlights the skills/qualities I have whilst still feeling like me.She’s really smart, warm and insightful, I feel like I’ve learnt a lot over the last 3 months. I really enjoyed the experience of hypnosis and found it to be very useful! Overall, I’ve come away with lots of wisdoms that I think will stay with me.”

“Coaching was new to me so I didn’t really know what to expect. What I did know is I’d had been feeling really unhappy, small and stuck for months and needed something to change. I was ready to start living differently, but I kept falling back to my old patterns of stress and insecurity. The biggest change between before and after working with Gemma is that I saw how change can come in tectonic shifts. I can’t say exactly what happened but what felt like overnight I was able to create distance to the things that used to send me to chaotic stress spirals. As a result, I feel much more at ease with myself. My brain feels more spacious as a result of working with Gemma, and that space is incredibly filled with joy and calmness.”

“Since working together I have noticed a huge shift in how I’m kinder to myself and care less about what others may think of me. I have clarity about what I want my future to look like. The skills and techniques you have provided me with and the care and compassion you have shown have been amazing! If you are reading this I would 1000% recommend you work with Gemma if you are struggling with needing direction in their life and looking to improve your communication skills. I would urge anyone to sign up to this programme, investing in myself and working with you has been the best decision I have made, as the shift that I have seen in my behaviour has been remarkable! Everyone needs a Gemma Perlin in their lives! 😉”

“Working with Gemma is without doubt the best decision I made this year. I know that coaching is a client led process, and with such limiting beliefs about myself, I was worried it would be a waste of time. Yet it was a transformative experience. Before coming to Gemma I found it incredibly difficult to let things go – I would let negative feelings override and consume me, I felt trapped by myself and could tell I was getting in my own way which just added to the frustration Since working with Gemma I’ve changed how I talk to myself, have a belief and confidence in myself that I didn’t think possible. When telling my friends about the work I did with Gemma I think I described it as ’seemingly very simple shifts that made the biggest difference’.”

“The programme is transformative, helpful, unknown, thought provoking, comforting, professional, scientific and you’ll experience big shifts in feelings. It teaches you the ‘How to’ rather than spending ages on the ‘why’ I felt as if I was existing, things were grey, at the same I was highly functioning with my day to day but I was just doing rather than massively enjoying. I was struggling with negative thinking, anxiousness, built up feelings/resentment from not talking about my feelings. Since working together, I feel a different person or in a new chapter. I feel more centred, happy and loving. I enjoy the day to day but also have goals & plans to achieve. I have confidence and feel more self assured.”

“Before I started working with Gemma, I felt frustrated with conventional therapy- where I came away without clear actions and lacked a feeling of progress. Working with Gemma I have noticed, increased awareness of my thoughts and feelings; a shift in focusing on the actions and reactions of others which makes having difficult conversations easier. I also feel more relaxed about my own level of expectations which has been freeing in my personal and professional life. Gemma’s approach is subtle, layered and had a ripple effect that has resonated with me in a more powerful and useful way than therapy ever did. Since our work together I feel empowered and have the tools to challenge my own perspective and check in with how I feel daily.”

“When I met Gemma I was coming out of a pretty bad patch of mental health, and was really struggling with overthinking. Since working with Gemma I am thinking less and living more in the present.. If I do have something that starts to send me into an overthinking spin, I know how to stop it. It’s completely different to working with a therapist and I am not sure exactly what Gemma does but I know it works. It’s been such a joy to work together and I am very grateful for all your help! I am so happy (and proud) I made the decision to work with you and want to say a big thanks. I really do feel different and I am so pleased to be going into this new year with a different mindset.”

“There was nothing daunting about working with Gemma. From day one I felt that our time together was a completely safe space. I looked forward to every session, and to where the session would take me. For me, this process has been about looking inwards in a way I’ve never allowed myself space for. To examine and share all the private traits, behaviours and thoughts that define me, and in doing so with Gemma’s help, in many ways I feel free from the shackles of ‘living up to’ any of those ideals. I am in a position now where I like and trust myself more. I’ve got my own back and I am much more attuned to situations and experiences that will elevate and push me to be my best.”

“The program helped me notice tendencies and parts of me I didn’t know I had – the whole process was gentle and calming. After every session I felt really grounded and at peace with myself like a literal weight had lifted off my shoulders.”

“Before I worked with Gemma, I was worried about opening up a ‘Pandora’s Box’, I was anxious, unconfident, stressed, and out of control. Since working together, I am better equipped to handle situations that would have previously stressed me out and affected my day to day living. I have gained a better understanding of me and how I react in situations and how to try and manage them. I feel like I am growing as a person which, even though I came to Gemma to help me from a career perspective, is actually having an impact on my whole life in general. Working with Gemma is of the best things I have done. You can immediately benefit from the tools and processes you work together on. Thank you for everything.”

“ I was so surprised about how informative coaching was about my understanding of self. I thought it would be more practical like CBT, but it freed me in a way that therapy hasn’t and really helped me. ”

“Before working with Gemma, I had never openly discussed anxiety before. I was struggling with the pressure of being a 30 something woman surrounded by super successful, hyper competitive people and the expectations of me. I felt a weight of heaviness on my chest that I was semi conscious of most of the time, but worsened when feeling low. Since working with Gemma, I have learnt more awareness of how anxiety manifests in my body and how to get to my happy state through really helpful visual practical tools that I use frequently that bring me calm and strength. I now understand the link between the body and anxiety and crucially how to unwind it. I feel so much greater ability to be happy and relaxed now I have the tools to get there.”

“I’d recommend anyone who needs some clarity, or guidance around listening to what their gut is trying to tell them but are unable to make any decisions to work with Gemma . She’s so wonderful.”

“After my first session with Gemma, I felt like a weight had been lifted. Gemma is both professional and adaptable: it was clear she knew exactly what she was doing every step of the way. As someone who typically doesn’t give myself the space to validate and feel my own emotions, I was surprised by how much I managed to open up during the session. I addressed trauma from years ago which – I realised – had continued to have a profound effect on me, my daily thought patterns and my behaviour. With Gemma’s help, I was able to acknowledge and, latterly, release myself from that bind – something I never would have been able to do by myself – which has had a lasting impact long beyond our session. I feel unburdened and calmer going forward.”

“From the end of our first session it was clear that Gemma has not only created a space with her clients that is safe and supportive but that she is invested in providing you with practical resources and exercises at the end of each session to help you deal with stress, anxiety and, well, anything life has to throw at you. Gemma was such a reassuring presence and I’m incredibly grateful to her for the tools she has given me. I feel much more equipped to tackle moments of crisis going forward.”

“I was blown away by working with Gemma. I’ve had different therapies before but this was so unique, I really felt like she tapped into something that no one has ever tapped into before. It really brought out the emotions, and allowed me to understand myself, forgive myself and find compassion and even love the parts of myself that have been painful. It was so interesting, I love how she tapped into my spirituality, she could really read and feel my energy. I had something in my life I needed to deal with, and now I feel so empowered. I feel so confident and so calm after working with Gemma.”

“When I met Gemma, I was really struggling with my confidence around speaking in meetings at work. Since working with Gemma I’ve gained confidence when presenting, this is no longer a huge fear and I’m getting better each time. I’m also more vocal in meetings and workshops, making a conscious effort to speak when I have ideas etc. I have developed general confidence and ability to control my anxious feelings I found the experience really helpful. I felt instantly comfortable to open up to Gemma, and found the sessions really impactful, learning a variety of coping mechanisms that I use all the time now in my day-to-day. It was also really good to unpick the reasons I was struggling and understand where my anxious thoughts came from.”

“I would recommend Gemma for anyone with anxiety especially those who have tried CBT and found it unhelpful for them.”

“I had one session with Gemma and I couldn’t believe the impact she had on me. I’ve worked with similar professionals for a few years, and I can’t remember anyone having such a profound effect on me, especially after just one session! ”

“I have a better relationship with myself and those around me and I can honestly say that Gemma has helped me like myself, like I am actually pretty keen on myself now which feels pretty epic. Gemma does this work because she is genuinely passionate about it, she truly cares about helping you make the change you want to see and supporting you along the way. If you are thinking about booking a session with Gemma, here’s your sign to do it.”

“When I started working with Gemma, I was struggling with society I suppose and wondering how I fitted, if I fitted, if I even wanted to fit. Now I don’t really care because it is no longer important. The important thing is to be happy and then everything else falls into place. I look at what happened as my learning and having come through, I can now shed all that pain and trauma and move into better times. I will not over obsess over the silly little things any more. Or worry about what people may or may not think. I am better able to internalise and rationalise it all without the need to vocalise.”

I took a huge leap when I decided to work with Gemma, and I’m so glad I did. I was at a pivotal point in my rapidly growing career, and I struggled with the internal balance needed to trust myself and fulfill my ambitions. The word “Coach” doesn’t quite capture Gemma’s influence. She is a transformative force, a mentor, and a guide. Her highly intuitive approach has completely reshaped my perception of myself and the world, grounding me in ways I had never experienced before. It’s powerful. If you’re advancing in your field—whether as a director, actor, writer, or producer—and need a mentor to help you navigate the creative industry’s turbulent waters, trust Gemma. This isn’t like therapy, it’s a practical toolkit for life that I draw from daily. It’s for anyone who wants to elevate, grow, and realize their goals.

I really loved working with Gemma, I feel she is an amazing therapist and person. I felt guided and listened at the same time. And I could see the effects on my body, mind, professional and personal life. I already recommended her to so many girlfriends and even to my partner. I felt really guided in the whole process and Gemma is so great.  Before the program I felt in a bubble of uncertainty and anxiety. What I got from Gemma was clear help and direction towards my creativity, and what I’m truly looking for in life, professionally. I literally felt like I never wanted to finish the sessions as it really helped me build my confidence back and also gave me tools to help me towards growth. Time seemed to always pass by so quickly – which means again we were making good use of it – and after each session my anxiety was gone. 

I didn’t really have any hesitations as I had read a lot of amazing testimonials about the work that Gemma did and how she has helped people. I guess the only thing was whether it would be worth the financial investment (which it was!)  I came to Gemma as I was struggling with my job. Our sessions helped me come to the realisation that I could hand in my notice and leave that job. I don’t think I would have made that decision if it wasn’t for our sessions and working through my hesitations and helping me to see the bigger picture and believe in myself.Our sessions also equipped me with some exercises/tools whilst I was still in the job which was helpful and are things I can take forward with me if feeling anxious. Gemma has a really lovely vibe which makes you feel relaxed and heard and she helped me navigate a really really difficult time with such a kind manner.

When I started I felt lost and was looking for concrete solutions and tools. What I’ve gained the most I believe is a self awareness of myself and how I’m trying to solve my problems but also how I can get in my own way. I feel I understand myself better and that I have a perspective that will allow me to show up as my most authentic self It was unexpected and eye opening. I came in wanting to work on my communication but ended up journeying onto topics that were a lot more profound. I developed a lot more self awareness and the different facets of who i am as a person. The shifts within me are subtle yet profound, and what I discussed with Gemma will stick with me for a long time. Even though the period I’m navigating is not straightforward, i have the confidence the steps I will take moving forward will be more aligned with my full self.

Trust the process of working with Gemma and prepare to feel invincible.Before I started the programme, I was questioning my decisions and skills at work, people pleasing and not feeling deserving of my role and confused about the next steps in my career. Throughout I have seen an incredible shift in my subconscious mind and conscious reality. My self confidence has grown and continues to grow with the techniques I’ve learnt. It’s hard to put a finger on, but I would say I feel more powerful.  There are countless tools, phrases and reality-checks from the sessions that I constantly fall back on. It has perhaps shaped the course of my career. I am unashamedly networking now and eager to carve out the reality I truly desire. Tough love with incredible results.

Before starting, I was curious yet nervous to see what effect it will have on me trying to be open for the process and the outcome. I was struggling to understand what I like to do. Understanding if the job I am doing is something I really wanted to do as I felt like it was taking over my life. Gemma made it possible for me to start the process of syncing into myself, and with such ease. I loved the programme and taking the time and understand myself better. I feel like I gained great prompts from the programme. I also love when I feel I understand what my body is trying to tell me and you helped me to start the process of looking into myself.  Everyone should do this! I would 100% recommend you to any of my friends who feel like they would like to work on themselves.

Truly a joy!I’ve worked with people in the past and didn’t necessarily feel a click. A hesitation I had before is that I don’t have clear thoughts on what I want to work on or how to articulate myself. I just know I could be feeling better. Emotionally, I felt a bit stuck and like I often silence myself and my feelings. I wanted professional support to feel more empowered in what I was thinking and the fear around fully expressing myself. Gemma is a great person to work with if you’re seeking clarity and support. It is a more hands-on approach and understanding, rather than just talking about the past, which I feel I’ve done in past therapy. It feels like speaking with an empathetic yet knowledgeable friend who I trust. I love our time spent together! I’ve felt calmer, and life has felt easier. I don’t worry about the idea of confrontation as much. I don’t feel so anxious about scenarios that will or won’t happen yet. It was really insightful. It was fascinating to question my subconscious (difficult at first, but I think you got me in flow quite quickly – felt like a big jump between session 1 and 2). I looked forward to every session and also the feeling afterward – happiness and lightness. I learned so much about myself and also how to question that, a skill I haven’t been taught before, so watching you do that to me is something I feel I can copy.

Before the programme, I was frequently having panic attacks and feeling very stressed with work and the scary idea of the future, which hung over me like a black cloud.  Through the programme, I am much more focused on practical ways to change and improve. I loved how tangible and task focused it was.  I have developed the ability to take a step back in a stressful situation and have more headspace to be able to deal with whatever is in front of me. I feel like I’ve had a shift in mindset and how I approach things.  I feel like I have better tools to be able to cope with stress and worries. I feel more confident about the future. I’ve also found I’m sleeping better  Thank you again so much for all your help over the past few months, it’s been so very helpful and I feel so fortunate that I was able to work with you.

Before we started working together, I felt quite hopeless that I was stuck in my ways and nothing would change. Although there were many lovely things in my life, it didn’t feel it at times! One problem being an overthinking mind, especially in worrying about things. Also struggling with a sense of direction and ‘self’.  I can notice thoughts, and question my beliefs, rather than just believing anything that I think.  I can breathe better and be more present. Gemma’s sessions were amazing, not only because of her fantastic professional skills but also because her kindness made me feel so relaxed and at ease. I loved it.

Before we started, I wondered is this going to work, will this help shift anything in my life that I am wanting to shift? felt aimless and like my head was always busy. Like I couldn’t pause and know myself or meet my needs truly. I had a feeling of not living for myself or knowing even what that looked like. Sessions with Gemma gave me an ability to be more (self) aware. I have gained stillness. I am calmer. More centred. More boundaried. I can articulate my needs clearer. I have strengthened my ability to self regulate. I have the skill to pause. The strength to say “No, I cannot help you”, the skill to know when something is and is not “for me”. The skill to be present. You can enter the program not even knowing what you need and find someone who is able to see through your jumbled thoughts, find a common thread and keep it in fierce focus – to truly help you to understand yourself, your patterns, how they could change and provide practical, daily practices to bring you closer to yourself and what your brain and body needs. And that even if you’re not able to articulate what that is; at the end you’ll find yourself firmly grounded on a path, feeling assured and confident that you are equipped and capable of getting yourself there. 

I had a profoundly positive experience. I came into the program worried about not meeting someone “on my wavelength”. Someone who spoke my language. And that is precisely who I found.  I loved that our conversations were honest but not too emotionally draining. That there was space for humor and quiet and asking questions when I didnt think I quite “got it”. You were able to see the core of each session and bring it back to the middle. I loved that I didn’t have to stereotypically burst out crying to feel true revelation and change. I love how you speak, as well. Your tone is assured, calm and generous. I wanted to compliment you on your voice and delivery because it was a major reason I knew I would enjoy working together. You have this great lower register that made me feel very seen and safe. I find in the self help world there are a lot of people who speak fast, with a higher tone and are rushing to fill the air with their insights and oft empty thoughts. But your words are considered and they land, powerfully.  I know many people I’d love to give access to the knowledge you have to offer. Thanks again Gemma for it all, for keeping the door open, and helping me and all the others lucky ones who work with you find what they need. Your work is powerful. 

Gemma is an absolutely fantastic life coach and person. Before starting the programme I knew I had several areas that I wanted to discuss but I had little understanding of what a life coach was or how one could help. From our first conversation Gemma was so friendly and helpful in explaining everything and quick at finding what I really needed to address. We actually covered most issues in the first session which allowed each following meeting for me to learn and understand more about myself. Now I feel like a completely different person. I’m happier, I enjoy life more and I have the skills to stay that way to deal with the things that might affect me being happy. I’m even less tired! Earlier this year, I was exhausted all the time, even though I was getting enough sleep. I even had blood tests, thinking something was seriously wrong. Now, I’m not constantly overthinking things, and my energy levels are way better. I am so thankful to Gemma and I only wish I had gone to her sooner. 

I was struggling with trusting my decisions, and coping with stress.  I have a tendency to intellectualise problems and try and think my way out of them, and I’d spent a fair bit of time in my own head trying to solve for a myriad of challenges post-breakup, post-job loss and in the depths of burnout – and I wasn’t getting anywhere. I felt very stuck. But you can’t think yourself out of being stuck – I needed someone to help me move. I also think I was carrying a lot of shame that I hadn’t been able to sort things out for myself. I loved the programme, it reminded me that looking outside of yourself for help can be transformative, that we don’t have to figure everything out on our own; that we do inherently know what we want, like, feel – we just have to sometimes learn how to tune into those feelings; and that the noise in your head is sometimes just that- noise. There were so many small breakthrough moments that shifted the way I talked to myself, and by changing that, I’ve seen so many changes in myself.  The timing  of the session were well paced to give me time to implement the learnings and simply sit with things. When are you are burnout working with Gemma is incredibly useful to prevent you from just carrying on that hamster wheel and giving you the tools to make hard choices that you can trust.  If you are looking for ways to help you figure out more about what you want and need, and how you can tune your thoughts to help you get there – that this is the type of work to do. 

Gemma, I cannot thank you enough for your help. The progression from our first session to our last has been life-changing for me and I am blown away by how quickly I’ve started to feel myself again. I came to you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and unsure of how to break certain habits/behaviours in my life. From day one you created a safe, judgement-free space for us to navigate and explore all of this, providing invaluable insights, tools and techniques that I can use for life. My head feels clearer and I’m finally excited to take the next step forward!! If you’re feeling lost, unmotivated, disconnected to yourself and/or the world or perhaps stuck in a cycle of behaviours/thoughts which you’d like help navigating through then this programme can help in abundance. This programme helped me to understand myself on an entirely new level and paved a way forward in my thinking.

I really loved the programme. I felt really supported and as though we were quickly able to get into the depths of some of the things that had been holding me back. I had some really eye-opening experiences that made things within me so clear in ways they never had been before. I have tried many approaches to try and get to the bottom of various issues I’ve struggled with, from therapy, to self-driven learning and working with other coaches. Nothing I’ve done has come close to being as beneficial and impactful as the sessions I’ve had with Gemma. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who is considering it

I can’t quite put into words how special and enlightening I found our sessions. When we started working together, I was feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in my life and not being able to get on top of it all. My biggest hesitation was cost and worrying that I was spending on something frivolous that might not work. What I found was some sort of magical sorcery with a wonderful wise woman! In all seriousness – I would say it is like a form of therapy but where you are talking through emotions, behaviours and beliefs on a deeper level, connecting them to your inner core and realigning where necessary with simple tools and analogies.I can’t thank you enough, Gemma. The sessions I had with you were both magical and powerful. You saw to the core of the issues and gently nudged me to question long held beliefs and to work through those issues on a conscious and subconscious level. you have well and truly set me on the path to self discovery and acceptance.  

It’s seldom that you set out on a quest and get exactly out of it what you hope you will. And I mean that in a good way. I set out with the desire to heal an aspect of my relationship to money, to understand patterns in my relationships, and while you can chant the affirmations all day long, you sometimes cannot get to the root of the problem by your own. Working with Gemma helped get me there – past the thorns and thistles, and into the real meat n’ potatoes of what was at the core of my ongoing issues. The root was an underlying misplacement of “value” in myself, often looking to others to validate what was nearly impossible to another human to do- recognise a human’s inherent and innate sense of self. The value I was looking for was always there within me. Instead of tethering it to someone else’s decision making, through my time working with Gemma, I learned to detach any sense of the words “worth, value, etc” to how someone else thinks of me, and first and foremost – find these things within myself. Not only has this allowed me to not take things to personally that don’t go my way – but they also deepen the meaning of compassion in my life. Compassion to allow others to change and do what is best for them just as I do what is best for me. Thank you, Gemma, for not allowing me to put a bandaid on what I’d been feeling, but to get right to the source and by doing so – to change my life, my relationships, and ultimately, what I believe is possible within myself. I am forever grateful!

I’d been stuck in repeating cycles of deep lows for years, knowing what needed to change but unable to shift it. After our first conversation, it just clicked. The process felt organic and powerful — being seen in the messiness brought clarity and relief. Your “you got this” helped restore my faith in myself. I’ve made long-overdue changes, developed more self-awareness and boldness, and started living with greater honesty and alignment. It helped me more than traditional therapy and supported me in getting out of my own way.

Gemma has allowed me to see clearly again, through a particularly challenging transition in my career. She provided me with a safe space, tools and prompts to better understand myself and where I’m heading. Fascinatingly, my mind opened up in ways I could never have imagined, and it was actually very calming too. To be seen, heard, and supported like that is incredibly powerful.

Thank you so much for all your help. I’ve really enjoyed our sessions and feel so happy that you were my coach! I was initially hesitant that five sessions wouldn’t be enough, but I’m so glad I went ahead. When we started, I felt trapped and overwhelmed, struggling to set boundaries and feeling responsible for things that weren’t mine. Since working together, I’ve started putting myself first, letting go of what isn’t mine to carry, and trusting myself more. I feel freer, more in flow, and able to make choices without pressure.This work helped me get unstuck, feel more confident, and take back control. I now actually feel like the version of myself I wanted to be.

Working with Gemma over the last few months has been absolutely incredible. I came into it with an idea of what I wanted to work on and in every session she was able to guide me to pinpoint exactly what I wanted & needed to focus on. The shifts I’ve noticed in myself have been genuinely mind blowing! As someone who has read a lot, listened to a lot of podcasts and done a lot of ‘work’ on myself, I was always waiting for this big, dramatic, in your face, loud CHANGE by doing the ‘work’ (whatever that means) but it never quite happened and would leave me feeling frustrated and seeking out the next method or framework to follow.. working with Gemma on the subconscious though meant that there was no big dramatic ‘I’ve got it now’ moment but rather a series of subtle, gentle and powerful shifts that I often only noticed after the fact – I’d be in a situation that would normally trigger me and it would only be afterwards that I’d realise ‘wow, that didn’t trigger me the same way it used to’ a for example! I feel so much more at ease, present and calm in my day to day life since working with Gemma and I honestly can’t thank her or recommend her enough!!!

I can’t recommend Gemma highly enough! I was brand new to any kind of coaching / therapy, so I guess I was feeling guarded around how vulnerable I might be in the sessions.. Before we worked together, I was anxious, stressed out, hypervigilant, with catastrophising thoughts. I was struggling most with feeling out of control and anxious. I didn’t feel like I could trust my mind or body anymore. I was constantly worried about being anxious, which made me anxious. This stemmed from feeling anxious on flights and bled into my wider life. After the sessions, I noticed things slowing down. Gemma helped me see things from a new perspective, challenged some of my ways of thinking, and helped me disrupt unhelpful behavioural patterns.” The techniques Gemma uses are often very subtle, at times you don’t feel like you’re being coached or in a form of therapy, which I think is a good thing. But the effects compound after each session. I felt like a huge weight was lifted even after the first session. Because of our work, I now enjoy life more, try to see the positives before dwelling on the negatives, am more open to new experiences, and seek support in other areas of my life instead of going through everything alone. The improvements I’ve noticed in my mental health are massive. Plus, Gemma is easy-going, fun, intelligent, and fascinating to work with. She immediately felt like a friend, someone I could trust. I never felt judged, always welcomed. My sessions always felt like a place I could be myself. Being in session, I felt a greater sense of space, not only to be heard but in my physical body too. It’s not always easy; your mind is put to work and afterwards you sometimes feel like your brain has had a workout! But always positive. Thank you!
