About Jemma

Counsellor Jemma Rollison is a BACP member with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career concerns and depression. Jemma uses several therapeutic approaches and aims to help people clarify what matters to them and make practical changes.

Jemma listens in a client-centred way. She encourages people to talk through their thoughts and feelings and to notice patterns that cause distress. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Jemma may also bring mindfulness ideas to a session to support grounding and present-moment awareness. Jungian perspectives are available to explore themes, symbols and personal meaning when clients find that useful.

Sessions aim to mix talking and practical steps. People can expect time to describe what is worrying them and to set small, realistic goals between sessions. The counsellor pays attention to how relationships and past experiences affect current choices and behaviours.

Jemma practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. She asks new enquirers to use the site's matching questionnaire to arrange a first session and to discuss which session format will suit their circumstances.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and coping. It helps when problems show up as trust issues, fear of abandonment or repeated relationship patterns. Client-centred work focuses on listening and on helping the person lead the conversation. It is useful for people who need space to make sense of their experience without pressure to follow a set plan.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete changes in behaviour. It suits issues such as anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation or focus. These approaches can be mixed depending on what someone needs and what they prefer.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help. This is a collaborative decision and can change as sessions progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if that suits your day. Registered or accredited professionals often use video, phone or messaging formats, and Jemma will explain which formats she offers when you arrange a first session.
