About Jemma
Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher helps people struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, grief and big life changes. She also offers support for ADHD-related overwhelm, relationship strain, trauma and parenting challenges. Jemma is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she practises from the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that keep someone stuck and finding small, practical steps to change them.
How Jemma works
Jemma aims to reduce self-criticism, ease sensory or emotional overwhelm, and build confidence in everyday decisions. Jemma draws on client-centred ways of working to make conversations feel respectful and collaborative. Mindfulness practices are used to help people become more aware of thoughts and bodily signals.
Practical exercises and reflections are often suggested between sessions. She brings personal insight as someone who is autistic and has ADHD, which shapes how she recognises sensory and emotional needs. That perspective helps her spot patterns others might miss and to adapt the pace of sessions to what feels manageable.
Typical work might include exploring perfectionism, learning strategies for burnout and stress, or building self-compassion after loss or difficult relationships. Jemma recommends several months of regular sessions for deeper change, while keeping plans flexible to suit individual needs.

How client-centred and mindfulness methods work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship questions and decisions about life changes.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Small mindfulness exercises can reduce the power of anxious thinking and help with stress, overwhelm and burnout. These practices are easy to try during or between sessions and can be adapted for sensory needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. Plans can be adjusted over time if something is not helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or who prefer not to travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into work breaks or quiet moments. These formats make it easier to keep regular sessions and to practise skills between meetings while remaining flexible to changing schedules.
