About Jemima
Jemima Pearson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with young adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression and the upheaval that comes with life transitions. Jemima also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career or money worries.
Her practice draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches. Jemima uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ways of working. She keeps things person-centred, placing the client's experience at the heart of each session.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Jemima helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out different ways of responding. She blends talking work with small, concrete steps you can try between sessions and reflects on what feels useful for you.
She has particular interest in attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and the impact of chronic illness or pain. Jemima also addresses multicultural concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and career direction.
If you are an adult dealing with the pressure of starting work, moving home, or feeling behind compared with peers, Jemima offers a calm, straightforward way to work through those challenges. To begin, follow the site steps to complete the short questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and commits to actions that reflect what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood and uncertainty about the future. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps. That decision is made together and can change over time as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions around study or work easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also allow people to work with registered or accredited professionals who live in a different area or country. Practical arrangements such as session length and scheduling are agreed with the therapist when you set up the first appointment.
