About Jemma
Jemma Brett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and parenting pressures, and also supports people managing ADHD and related life changes.
Jemma describes her way of working as down-to-earth and honest. She aims to offer direct, human conversations so clients can talk through what is worrying them. She draws on both professional training and her own lived experience when supporting clients.
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day strain. Jemma helps people spot patterns that make stress and shame stick around. She works with issues such as attachment, caregiver stress, control problems, and difficulty communicating with others.
She also supports people facing relationship shifts like divorce and separation, and those puzzling over life purpose or feeling isolated. Guilt and shame are noted areas of focus, including shame linked to family, faith or parenting decisions.
Jemma aims to work collaboratively to find strategies that fit a client's life. She encourages clear, steady steps rather than quick fixes. If you want to try a session, follow the site's booking route and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Many of the techniques Jemma uses are drawn from evidence-based therapy approaches that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them against everyday reality, which can ease anxiety and low mood.Another useful method looks at how past relationships shape present responses, helping people see attachment patterns and change how they relate to others. These approaches can be helpful for shame linked to family or longstanding relational dynamics.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jemma will work with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals, discussing options and adjusting methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Registered or accredited professionals often use online formats to support people who need practical flexibility.
