About Jemima
Counsellor Jemima Pearson is BACP-registered and has four years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She sees individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and life changes, among other issues listed in her practice.
Jemima uses several well-known approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She draws on these methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Jemima will listen to what matters now, and then work alongside the person to set small steps and tasks that feel manageable. Conversations often look at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships.
She pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics when those are relevant. That can help when someone wants clearer boundaries, better communication, or to understand intimacy-related worries. Jemima also supports people with issues such as addiction, grief, body image and long-term illness.
People who choose to work with her usually focus on clear, everyday changes. She offers coaching-style elements when helpful, alongside more traditional counselling conversations. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session via the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports moving toward chosen values even when emotions are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how earlier relationships influence current ways of relating and can help with intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adapt them if needed so the work fits the person rather than the other way round.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm currently offered options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around family, work or medical commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and remove the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep therapy reachable while still focusing on practical change and relation-based work.
