Welcome

My name is Gemma Collins

Qualified Person-Centred Counsellor (MBACP)

Founder of Unique Truth Therapy. I’m especially passionate about supporting people from diverse backgrounds. Being of mixed heritage — my father is Bajan (from Barbados) and my mother is English — I understand how identity, culture, and belonging can shape our experiences. This perspective deeply informs my work and my commitment to inclusive, culturally sensitive practice.

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.
