GEMMA HUNT THERAPY
My Story
I first came to therapy as the client, not because I wanted to, because I had to.
I had been hiding my struggles for years, trying to make changes, but they never stuck.
Eventually it all caught up with me and affected my health, and so I began my journey of exploring how to make lasting change.
First to look at my own trauma, patterns and challenges and then to retrain and accompany others on their journeys.
When I started therapy I knew I wanted to feel better physically, I hadn’t however imagined I could make such a shift in my mood, how I felt day to day and how I viewed my life and future.
I was hooked and retrained in EFT/Tapping, NLP, Coaching and Hypnotherapy and I started Gemma Hunt Therapy.
I specialise in specific areas because I have both personal and profession experience in them and so have understanding on many levels.
I’ve continued to train, learn and explore this wonderful world of therapy (including being in my own therapy) and genuinely love what I do (I know its sounds cliche, but speak to anyone who knows me or works with me and they will all agree).

My therapeutic approaches
I am a Somatic (whats held in the body) and Cognitive (our thoughts) therapist, working on these duel levels can create lasting change. If you want more of a sense of why I work with the body this vlog may help explain. My approach is a combination of person centred and solution focused therapy, meaning my clients are the experts on themselves and their lives, I offer space to compassionately and curiously explore with a fresh pair of eyes and no judgement.
Heres a list of areas I've trained in but if you really want to get a feel for me, book a free chat.
EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique/Tapping
This person centred approach that incorporates somatic and cognitive therapy is based on the principles of both ancient acupressure and modern psychology and is also known as 'Tapping'. Whilst simply stimulating acupressure points and focusing on an issue, both painful emotions and physical issues can be eased.
Rape and Sexual Abuse
Supporting individuals who experienced rape and sexual abuse as an adult or in childhood.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Pregnancy and infant loss, subsequent pregnancies after loss, infertility.
Internal Family Systems
IFS is a form of therapy that views the mind as a family of different sub-personalities. It teaches that there are no bad parts, and healing happens when your compassionate Self leads and helps your inner parts drop extreme roles.
NLP - Neuro-Linguistic Programming
NLP is the systematic study of human communication and how we create our subjective world with all its pleasure and pain. It's is also the study of exceptional talent, of the patterns and programmes that allow people to get results.
Coaching
Coaching is an empowering tool that can be used in personal, business and sporting situations to unlock a persons potential to maximise their own performance, helping them to learn rather than teaching them.
