Calm, Grounded Therapy for Adults and Young People.
Living in a world that wasn't built for your nervous system is exhausting. Whether you are a teen or young adult struggling trying to find your footing, or an adult navigating quiet anxiety and burnout, or someone unpicking the lasting impact of early family dynamics.
Hinks Headspace offers a calm, cosy space, either online or in-person therapy. To space to stop masking, catch your breath, and finally feel understood.
Who This Space Is For.
Teens & Young Adults (ages 13+)
Finding your footing when the world feels too loud.
Support for school, college, and university pressures, managing draining social batteries, ''adulting'' overwhem, and the intense anxiety of trying to fit in.
Neurodiversity & Exploring How Your Mind Works
Moving away from feeling ''broken'' and understanding your unique brain.
Whether you have an Autism or ADHD diagnosis, received a late in adulthood, or spent years simply wondering and questioning if your brain works differently, this is a safe space to explore what makes you you, with zero pressure or judgment.
Family, Upbringing & Relationships
Healing from the roots up.
Navigating complicated relationships with parents or siblings, feelings left out or unsupported, growing up in care or foster settings, or carrying old childhood wounds that leave your nervous system constantly on edge
Mid-life, Hormones & Menopause
Reclaiming yourself when life rewrites the rules.
Compassionate, practical support for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, brain fog, sudden anxiety spikes, and exhaustion of juggling everyone elses needs
Down to Earth Space Where you are Fully Understood
Support for aged 13+
I’m Gemma, an accredited counsellor (MNCPS). I provide warm, practical, zero-judgment therapy for adults and young people who have spent years holding everything together on the outside while running on empty within.
My work is rooted in genuine empathy, lived experience, and a realistic understanding of what real life feels like when you're overwhelmed. Genuine conversation with tools that actually fir everyday life.
Together, we can:
-
Understanding Your Mind: Gaining insight into how your brain operates, moving away from self-blame, and celebrating your strengths.
-
Nervous System Calm: Practical, gentle ways to manage sensory overload, overthinking, big emotions, and that knot of anxiety in your stomach.
-
Healthier boundaries: Finding out who you are beneath the roles your play (parent, partner, student, employee) and dropping the daily mask, and feelings secure in your own skin.
What Moving Forward Can Look Like
-
Making Peace Of Mind: Understanding how your brain naturally operates, letting go of the feeling that you are broken or falling behind, and working with your strengths instead of fighting them
-
Less Overwhelm More Calm: Practical, gentle ways to settle a racing chest, manage your sensory environment, and protect your social battery before you hit complete exhaustion.
-
Healthy, Guilt-Free Boundaries: Learning how to say no without panic, breaking the cycle of people-pleasing, and feeling secure in your relationships with family, friends or colleagues.
-
Reclaiming Who You Actually Are: Untangling the real you, from all the masks you've worn to fit in, and finally giving yourself permission to just be human.
I am an accredited registrant with the NCPS and verified by Psychology Today and Counselling Directory. I also accept self-referrals through private medical insurers and Employee Assisted Programme (EAP) through Allianz, Aviva, Sparta Health & Vitality Health (with applications in progress for Healix)
