About Jemma

Jemma Brett works with stress, anxiety, low mood, parenting concerns, ADHD and life changes. She describes her approach as down-to-earth, honest and human, and she blends professional training with lived experience. Jemma is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Jemma offers talking therapy for people who are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with mood, or managing the practical demands of parenting. She helps people understand how neurodivergence affects day-to-day life and supports those wanting strategies to cope with anxiety and change. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical next steps rather than technical language.

Her work covers issues linked to relationships and attachment, caregiver stress, communication and control difficulties, and separation after divorce. She also helps with feelings of guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose and self-worth. Social anxiety and phobia are within her remit alongside broader mood concerns.

Jemma aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded. She listens to what is happening now and helps people develop coping approaches they can try between meetings. She draws on what clients already do well and suggests small, practical changes when helpful.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Jemma uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions

Jemma works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking and practical strategies. One common approach helps people recognise patterns in thinking and behaviour and then test small changes to see what helps; this can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on understanding relationship and attachment patterns, which can help with caregiver stress, communication problems and feelings of isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jemma will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work, school runs and daily life, and reducing travel time. Some formats can make check-ins quicker or avoid the need to be on camera, so sessions are easier to fit into a busy day. The specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
