I’m Amanda Gemmel, a qualified counsellor working nationally online and face to face in Essex.
I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what’s going on.
Together we can explore the challenges you’re facing and find ways to bring more clarity, confidence and balance into your life.
Many of the people I work with are struggling with:
My counselling style is person-centred and solution-focused. That means we’ll work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you. You’ll be met with warmth, honesty and genuine respect. In our sessions we’ll explore why you feel the way you do and identify triggers and how they impact your life. We‘ll reflect on what you want instead and develop coping strategies and tools. We’ll explore the changes that can be made to help you live the life you want and to help you manage, cope and thrive.
I’m also experienced in working with adults with ADHD and take a neurodiversity-affirming approach. Different ways of thinking are part of natural human variation, not something that needs fixing. However, I am experienced in working with the challenges that this can bring.
If this feels like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.

I hold Professional Accreditation with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I hold full professional indemnity insurance, an enhanced DBS certificate, and work in line with a strict code of ethics. My practice is actively anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirmative. I also take part in regular CPD to keep my skills and knowledge current.
I offer a confidential, caring, and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is causing you distress. Together, we will work at your pace in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. My aim is to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you share your thoughts and experiences. I bring kindness and compassion to our work, with a focus on helping you gain greater self-awareness, uncover your own solutions, and move towards positive change.
As well as working with a wide range of issues, I also have experience supporting adults with ADHD. While acknowledging the challenges of living with ADHD in a world largely designed for neurotypical minds, I believe that neurodivergent ways of being are a natural human variation — not something that needs to be pathologised or corrected. As a society, we benefit from all neurotypes; just as biodiversity is essential in nature, neurodiversity is vital for our collective wellbeing.
