Much of what makes us unhappy is
unconscious and not easily accessed by easy explanations. Gabby works with
clients to explore aspects of their life and their feelings, to learn new ways
of overcoming personal difficulties. Managing vulnerabilities, emotions and
behaviours can make problems easier to understand, build resilience and self
care.

Gabby uses a range of counselling and psychotherapy
models including CBT, psychodynamic, experiential and behavioural. She is
qualified to practice Eye
Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Gabby’s experience includes working with clients referred for anxiety, depression,
drug use, grief and relationship issues. She specialises in providing trauma

support, coroner’s court, magistrate court, prison support to psychological

and overseas supporting workers in high-risk situations.
