Relational, Trauma-Informed Online Therapy For When Survival Has Come At A Cost
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about honouring what kept you going and gently exploring what’s possible now.
You’re not too much. You’re not broken.
If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep going, you’re not alone. Your coping makes sense. Your story deserves to be heard with care. This space is here for you, just as you are.
Does this feel like you?
You’re tired of holding it all together. Of swinging between feeling everything and feeling nothing. Of wondering why food feels complicated, why your body aches in ways no one seems to understand, or why you can’t let people close even though you want to.
Maybe you’ve been through therapy before and left feeling misunderstood or misread. Maybe the words don’t always come easily. Or maybe you’re just... exhausted. From performing. From pretending. From surviving.
Are you wondering if it could be different?
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about getting curious. Listening gently to what your system is trying to protect. And slowly, steadily, building something safer together.

"I have never made steps this far forward in recovery when working with any other professional and I am so thankful to have found such unique and dedicated help in Gem... our sessions together are now able to focus on the reasons for my eating disorder and how to move forward coping with life differently which enables such hope for a future without the need to cope using eating disorder behaviours."

Hi, I’m Gem (she/her)
I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your story, especially if that story’s been ignored or misunderstood before.
I became a therapist because I’ve seen the damage that systems and diagnoses can do. And I’ve seen the power of feeling deeply seen instead. My work is grounded in trauma recovery, lived experience, and nearly two decades of learning from clients, colleagues, and Carolyn Spring’s frameworks.
Whether we’re working together in therapy or supervision, my aim is the same: to create a space where your adaptations are honoured, your voice is respected, and you never have to translate your experience to be understood.
Therapy with me is spacious, collaborative, and real. We’ll go gently. We’ll go honestly. And we’ll always go at a pace that honours all parts of you and feels safe for you.
If you’re ready, or just wondering if this might help, I’m here.
Therapy can help you come back to yourself. Less shame, more clarity, and a way forward that actually feels like yours.
Questions You Might Have Before Starting
-
Yes completely. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, especially if relationships haven’t always felt safe or supportive. You’re considering inviting someone into your inner world, and that takes courage. Feeling unsure, anxious, or hesitant is a very natural response. We’ll explore these feelings together, and you’ll never be rushed. We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable for you while gently staying open to challenge, as this is often where growth begins.
-
The first 1–6 sessions are part of a collaborative assessment phase. This is our chance to get to know each other and see what’s emerging for you. I’ll ask questions to begin building a shared understanding of your experiences, and you’re invited to bring whatever feels relevant or important at your own pace. These early sessions also help us shape how we might work together to build trust, identify your hopes, and co-create a therapeutic process that feels grounded, attuned, and supportive.
-
I see therapy as a collaborative, relational process. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, helping to gently uncover what may have become buried or tangled over time, and support you to reconnect with your inner knowing and strengths. We’ll explore how your past has shaped you, how it may be showing up now, including in our relationship and work together to create space for growth, healing, and joy. I bring knowledge of trauma, neurobiology, and relational dynamics but we build the work around you.
-
I’ll offer reflections, insights, or information when it feels helpful—but never in a directive or prescriptive way. I deeply respect your autonomy and capacity to find what feels right for you. Together, we’ll create space to reconnect with your own voice and values.
-
I offer therapy via Zoom, which allows us to work together from the comfort of your own space. You’ll need a device with a camera and mic, a reliable internet connection, and somewhere private to talk. I’ll send you a secure link before your first session. Online therapy can offer flexibility, consistency, and safety—especially when it’s important to feel anchored in your own environment.
-
Currently, I work exclusively online. This allows greater flexibility and accessibility for many clients, and enables us to work together regardless of location.
-
I am registered with WPA Insurance and can provide invoices for reimbursement if your plan allows. I don’t currently work directly with other insurance providers, but I’m happy to issue receipts if you're able to claim independently.
-
I ask for 48 hours’ notice for any cancellations or reschedules. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged in full. If I don’t hear from you within 5 days of a missed session, I may cancel future bookings but I’ll always try to get in touch first. If something’s getting in the way of attending regularly, we can talk about it together and adjust where needed.
-
What you share in therapy is private and confidential, with a few legal exceptions such as risk of serious harm or a court order. I also engage in regular clinical supervision (as all ethical therapists do) to ensure I’m providing the best support I can, while fully protecting your identity. You’re always welcome to ask more about this. We’ll be transparent and collaborative in all aspects of the work.
-
That’s okay. You don’t need a particular label or definition to come to therapy. What matters is how things have impacted you. If something is causing distress, holding you back, or making life harder—then it’s important. We’ll use language that feels right for you, and focus on what you’re experiencing—not just what it's called.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
Therapy can offer a steady hand, a different pace, and a space where healing feels possible again.
