About Jemima
Jemima Pearson is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She works with individuals facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns and other everyday struggles. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on what will help you now.
Jemima draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, identifies manageable steps, and practises new ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Her background includes four years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. That registration reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Jemima works with a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety and mood, such as addiction, trauma and abuse, body image, chronic illness and communication problems.
She also supports people with attachment issues and those who are autistic or have Asperger Syndrome, tailoring sessions to each person’s situation. Therapy typically explores how past experiences shape present reactions, while building practical skills for coping and making change. Sessions can include short exercises, reflective conversation and goal-focused work to help people manage symptoms and move towards clearer priorities.
How Jemima’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. Working through these patterns can improve intimacy, communication and responses to stress.
Jemima uses a client-centred way of working too, which puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. That means conversations are paced to what feels most useful, with empathy and respect guiding the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jemima will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative decision and can change as needs evolve over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, reflective writing and when a quick session fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
