About me

Hi, I'm Gemma at Kaleidoscope Counselling, an integrated counsellor based in the Stourbridge area. I also work online and in person. I rent rooms in Wordsley located in stourbridge.

I'm qualfied to level 5 and also have a diploma in mindfulness.I am fully insured, and a registered member of BACP. There are many more details about how I work below.

About Me

There are times in life when we wake up and realise that things don’t feel quite right. You might not have the words for how you’re feeling, or you may not have anyone you feel able to talk to. This is where I come in — a neutral, calm and non-judgmental person who can help you explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe space.

I aim to offer counselling that is affordable and tailored to you as an individual. Every client’s needs are different, and together we can gently explore what feels right for you. If you’re unsure what you want from therapy, that’s absolutely fine because we can find our way together.

The name Kaleidoscope reflects my belief that during difficult or low times, our world can feel muted and colourless. With the right support, just like a kaleidoscope, we can take the pieces we have and create something new, bringing back the colour, shape and brightness in a way that feels meaningful to you.

1.

Creative Therapies

As a creative therapist, I'm thrilled to use Creative Therapies to help clients connect with their emotions! Initially, I thought this meant being a traditional artist, but don’t let that title hold you back—I’m not an artist either! With techniques like sand therapy, stone therapy, and metaphor work, I’m here to help you express what’s happening inside. Many of my clients find these methods incredibly helpful, and I do too!

2.

Talking therapies

My clients often share that they crave a space to truly be themselves and feel heard! I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you can freely share your thoughts and receive the support you need to move forward with confidence!

3.

Young people

I work with young people aged 12+ and also with refferals from CAMHS. I have worked with young people outside of the counselling room for 22 years and am aware of the many pressures they face. Young people are often expected to listen and obey rather than being heard and I aim to change this. I use creative methods and talking methods to explore any difficulties the young person may be facing.

4.

Christian counselling

Jesus said do not worry about anything instead pray and tell God your needs . The truth is though sometimes we do worry and we need someone to walk alongside us. As a mature and commited Christian who has a degree in theology I aim to support all Christians regardless of the differences in denomination.
