Welcome
My name is Gemma Collins
Qualified Person-Centred Counsellor (MBACP)
Founder of Unique Truth Therapy.
I’m passionate about supporting people from all walks of life, especially those whose identities and experiences may not always feel fully seen or understood. As someone of mixed heritage — with a Bajan father and an English mother — I know firsthand how culture, identity, and belonging can shape how we move through the world. These insights guide my approach and strengthen my commitment to providing inclusive, affirming, and culturally sensitive therapy for everyone.

Supportive and Productive Counselling
I have been working through mental health issues with Gemma for almost two months and have already seen significant progress in my approach and attitude towards life. Gemma's counselling approach is not prescriptive, and follows an organic progression which has allowed me to delve into the deeper issues underlying feelings of stress or anxiety, and come to important realisations about my character and values. Gemma does not apply pressure in terms of topics of discussion, which also eases you into the process, and assures her support in paving your own journey in therapy. Her insights are always very useful and reassuring. Though there is an allocated time slot, there is not a sense of curtailment or haste, underscoring the authenticity of her position as a counsellor. I would highly recommend the services of Gemma, as she has been instrumental to maintaining my personal wellbeing and tackling the trials and tribulations that life presents.
Thank you Gemma
Gemma has been a very helpful part of my healing journey and I’m very grateful to her.
Brilliant effective therapy session - I would highly recommend!
I had the pleasure of having sessions with Gemma Collins. She was incredibly supportive, considerate, and a great listener. She attentively listened to my concerns, asked insightful questions, and guided me to find my own answers. Her non-judgmental approach helped me gain a better understanding of myself. Gemma set clear goals at the beginning of each session, and we regularly revisited these goals to track our progress. Her ability to keep us focused on our objectives was instrumental in achieving meaningful progress. One of the things I appreciated most was Gemma's excellent memory. She always remembered what we had discussed in previous sessions, so I never had to repeat myself. This made our interactions smooth and efficient. Additionally, Gemma's professionalism and punctuality were always evident. She consistently arrived on time and was well-prepared for each session. Her empathetic nature and dedication to her work make her an exceptional professional.

Gemma Collins at Unique Truth Therapy
I felt comfortable speaking to Gemma right from the start of my therapy sessions. She was kind, patient and I never felt judged. I was able to open up about events from my past and my current feelings. With her help I was able to regain confidence in myself and gratitude for all of the great things in my life. I would strongly recommend her as a therapist!

Feel Seen. Feel Heard. Feel Whole.
Are You Carrying More Than You Let On?
You may be constantly juggling roles — a professional, a carer, a parent, a friend — and yet underneath it all, you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. Maybe you’ve been experiencing sleepless nights, racing thoughts, or a heaviness that just won’t lift.
You might be quietly struggling with:
-
Anxiety that makes it hard to switch off or relax
-
Grief or loss, whether recent or something long held
-
Ongoing stress from work, family expectations, or life transitions
-
Emotional fatigue, especially from always appearing “strong” on the outside
-
A sense of disconnection — from yourself, your purpose, or your cultural identity
Even if life looks “fine” from the outside, you know something isn’t quite right inside. You’ve thought about reaching out for support, but haven’t found a space that truly understands the complexity of your journey.
A Therapy Space That Understands the Pressure
At Unique Truth Therapy, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about supporting you to feel more grounded, more balanced, and more in control of your life.
Whether you're:
-
Feeling overwhelmed by stress and emotional load
-
Struggling with anxiety, low mood, or lack of motivation
-
Dealing with personal or professional transitions
-
Holding tension from caring for others while neglecting yourself
-
Wanting to explore your identity and values in a safe, non-judgmental space
…you are welcome here.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Many people from mixed heritage, African, Caribbean, and other diverse backgrounds carry added layers of expectation, responsibility, and unspoken pressure. You may find yourself constantly managing how you're perceived, adapting to fit into different spaces, or carrying generational hopes while trying to carve out your own path.
It can be exhausting. It can feel lonely. And it can affect your emotional wellbeing more than you realise.
I provide therapy that’s person-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive, tailored to your unique life experience — not just your symptoms. Whether your challenges are rooted in stress, grief, identity, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to gently unpack what’s holding you back and help you move forward with clarity.
Therapy That Fits Your Life
You can choose in-person sessions in Preston or online sessions across the UK, giving you the flexibility to access support in a way that works best for you.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns and pressures shaping your emotional world and begin building tools to help you:
-
Manage anxiety and daily stress
-
Improve emotional resilience and confidence
-
Navigate transitions with more clarity and calm
-
Strengthen your sense of identity and inner truth
-
Reconnect with your goals, values, and self-worth
-
Your Healing Starts Here
At Unique Truth Therapy, you’ll find more than just a place to talk — you’ll find a space where your experiences are respected, your wellbeing matters, and your healing journey is fully supported.
