About Jemima
Jemima Pearson offers short, clear support for people feeling overwhelmed by life, relationships or inner conflict. She helps clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and change. Sessions aim to bring small, practical shifts so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful.
Jemima is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience. She draws on several established approaches to shape sessions around each person. Therapy tends to be collaborative and paced to what feels doable for the client.
How Jemima works
The focus is on noticing patterns, testing small changes, and building new ways of coping. People can talk about relationship problems, intimacy-related worries, addictions, trauma and abuse, or difficulties with sleep and eating. Jemima also supports those facing long-term illness, chronic pain or cancer, and explores concerns linked to money, work and life purpose.
She pays attention to cultural differences and issues around isolation or shame. In practice she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening. That mix helps with both emotional symptoms and day-to-day challenges.
Sessions are practical, with time for reflection and simple experiments to try between meetings. Consultations are offered in English and are open to international clients. Therapy is delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Jemima’s approaches work online
Jemima uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions because it focuses on small, value-led steps. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current connection patterns and emotional responses; this helps when intimacy or trust feels difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jemima will speak with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. The process is collaborative so the plan can change as needs shift and new information emerges.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual contact helps deepen the conversation. Phone sessions suit quieter audio-only chats or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel while keeping continuity with the chosen therapeutic approach.
