My name is Gemma Mason and I work as a therapist, offering counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples and groups. I am able to offer short or long term work and work from bases in Trowbridge and Devizes. You may be considering therapy for a current issue or one that has occurred from events in your past. Counselling and psychotherapy is primarily about personal development and you do not necessarily need to be in a personal crisis to commence this journey. It could be that you just want things to be different. Counselling provides a safe and supportive environment in which to explore the feelings and emotions you have about your past and present life experiences. Our work together will hopefully enable you to let go of those things which you no longer find useful. Some of the reasons people may commence counselling include relationship difficulties, bereavement, unexpected life changes, unresolved trauma from your past or you may have another reason.
