Meet Jemma

Jemma is a social worker, EMDR therapist and play therapist. Her background is in trauma counselling and group work with children, young people and families both in Australia and internationally. Jemma holds a Masters of Social Work and Masters of Child Play Therapy and completed her EMDR training with Caroline Burrows and Philip Manfield.

At the heart of her work is a focus on relationships and connection. She is committed to holding a safe, warm and welcoming environment where clients can express themselves, explore their needs and feel empowered. From this foundation in relational practice, Jemma seeks to support clients heal from trauma, to be able to live more fully in the present and to shift distress living in the body and in deeply held beliefs.

Ultimately, Jemma strongly believes that when we nurture relationships and connection we have the capacity to positively impact our environment, ultimately making our world more inclusive, supportive and compassionate.
