About Jemma
Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher offers support for common and painful issues such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and the strain of parenting. She meets people who feel stuck, exhausted by perfectionism, or worn down by grief and major life changes. Jemma is clear and calm in her manner and aims to help people find breathing space and more confidence in day-to-day life.
She describes her practice as person-centred and practical. Sessions use short exercises, reflective prompts and simple psychoeducation when helpful.
Background and approach
The focus is on noticing small shifts that make daily life easier - for example quieter self-talk, clearer decisions, and better ways to manage overwhelm. Jemma draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness therapy in her counselling. That means she pays close attention to what matters to the client and offers mindful techniques to reduce reactivity.
She works at a pace that feels manageable and adapts tools to each person’s needs. She also brings lived experience as someone who is autistic and has ADHD. This perspective helps her spot sensory and emotional patterns that might otherwise be missed.
It also shapes a practical, accepting way of working for people with a range of needs and preferences. Jemma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of experience working with adults on issues such as relationship difficulties, trauma, caregiving stress, intimacy-related concerns and career questions.
Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. People are encouraged to set the pace, try short experiments between sessions, and bring real problems from home into the room so they can be worked on together.

How client-centred and mindful methods work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and values. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and confidence when life feels overwhelming.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills and grounding practices. These help reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety and can support people dealing with perfectionism, grief or sensory overwhelm. Mindful techniques are easy to practise between sessions and can fit into a busy day.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jemma will collaborate with the client to identify which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. Together they try short experiments and adapt tools until something feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful if bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera isn’t wanted. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments.
