About Jemma

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem and the weight of self-criticism. Jemma also supports those facing stress, burnout, life changes, relationship and parenting challenges.

Her own experience as autistic and with ADHD shapes how she notices patterns and sensory or emotional overwhelm. She uses clear, practical tools and short reflections to help people slow down and make different choices. Sessions include psychoeducation, creative exercises and everyday practices that can be tried between meetings.

Jemma pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and the body interact. She draws on client-centred ways of working to listen closely and on mindfulness techniques to help with present-moment noticing. Work is paced to what feels manageable, with practical steps offered rather than lengthy theory.

People who come to her often want to reduce self-critical loops and make day-to-day life feel easier. Jemma supports building confidence in decisions and making space for personal needs alongside other responsibilities. She encourages routine around sessions, such as short time before and after to think about what to bring.

Her approach is straightforward and action-focused. Jemma usually recommends a few months of regular sessions to get momentum, but plans are adapted to each person’s circumstances. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and supports them to notice their own answers to difficult feelings such as shame or anxiety.

Mindfulness Therapy trains simple noticing of thoughts, bodily signals and urges without adding criticism. This can help reduce the intensity of self-critical loops and provide tools to manage overwhelm in everyday moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to try techniques and then adapts what is used based on goals, needs and preferences. That way the plan changes if something is not helpful.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy days, keeping continuity when travel is difficult, and using shorter check-ins when time is limited. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote work can make it easier to keep steady appointments alongside family, work or caring duties.
