About Jemima

Jemima Pearson works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career challenges. Jemima draws on a mix of counselling methods to help people notice patterns, make practical changes and improve day-to-day coping.

Jemima is BACP accredited, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years' experience working with adults across a broad range of emotional and relational issues. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what is most relevant right now.

Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That mix means conversations can look at thoughts and behaviours, emotional patterns in relationships, and how values guide choices. Techniques include noticing unhelpful thinking, practising new ways of relating, and clarifying what matters to someone.

Jemima pays attention to how past experiences influence present reactions. She helps people identify repeating patterns and try different responses in day-to-day life. Work may include short practical steps and reflective discussion, depending on what the person needs.

She has additional focus on issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, addiction, multicultural concerns and financial stress. Jemima aims to support clearer thinking, steadier mood and improved relationships through regular sessions.

To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session to see if the approach fits.

How Jemima uses therapy approaches online

Jemima works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core parts of her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and accept difficult thoughts while taking steps towards chosen values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression and coping skills.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to examine how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and interactions. That approach can help people understand relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and repeated patterns that cause distress. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and will be shaped by the person's goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions.

Practical benefits of having sessions remotely include fitting counselling around work, study or family commitments and making it easier to join from different locations. The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking.
