I still have a long way to go but Jemma has been instrumental in helping me with my issues with addiction and some bad habits I’ve picked up from my childhood. Not only do I understand my behaviour better and why I am the way I am and act the way I do, but Jemma has also helped put in place techniques to help me become a more well rounded individual.

Jemma is absolutely brilliant. She is extremely comfortable to talk to and open up to. She’s extremely supportive and offers possible solutions and causes to the way you feel. She has zero judgement and is just an amazing person.
