Meet Gemma

Hi, I’m Gemma Gladstone and I’m so happy that you’ve found us.

Clinical Psychologist, Schema Therapist, Dating & Relationship Coach

Human behaviour and relationship dynamics are my specialty.  I work with individuals 1:1 to get the best results for my clients so they can find their voice, be as authentic as possible and ultimately live their best lives without being hampered and held back by their schemas! 

Here's just a little bit about me to give you a sense of my background. After my professional training as a psychologist, I began my career in the mental health research field, back in 1995, where I eventually completed a PhD. Since then, I enjoyed a number of different roles over the last 25 years and had the privilege of working with hundreds of people seeking help for all manner of psychological and relationship issues. I’ve had the great fortune to learn from them and gain a deep appreciation for why we humans do the things we do and feel the things we feel.

Together with my colleague and friend, Justine Corry, we ran The Good Mood Clinic in Sydney for many years – a clinic which specialized in using Schema Therapy, not only to treat mental health issues, but to also enhance relationships and maximize well-being. Since then, we have been using schema therapy and schema coaching to create online offerings to reach more people, in the hope that everyone can access and benefit from this incredibly effective and useful modality.

I am a certified schema therapist, trainer and supervisor (ISST) and I enjoy spreading the word about how helpful schema therapy is and how we can all use it to enhance our lives and relationships.  Schema therapy has certainly changed my life for the better and it’s my hope that it can change yours too! 

To get specific, I enjoy helping my clients find lasting solutions in the areas of relationships, dating, abandonment issues, people pleasing, perfectionism, personality clashes in the work-place, narcissistic abuse recovery and improving difficult family dynamics (including managing narcissistic family members).  

If you'd like to get a better sense of my approach please do tune into our podcasts (The Good Mood Clinic Podcast and The Red Flag Project).  We have loads of helpful episodes on schema, relationships/dating, narcissism and more!
