About Jemma

Jemma Brett is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the ups and downs of parenting. She offers a calm, straightforward style and aims to make sessions feel honest and human. Jemma draws on both professional training and her own life experience to support practical change and emotional processing.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including coping with life changes and ADHD, and she has a particular interest in neurodivergent-affirming practice.

Background and approach

She also helps people facing attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems and the emotional impact of separation. In sessions Jemma keeps language plain and direct. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients spot patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.

Conversations often lead to small, manageable goals clients can try between meetings. She brings four years of experience to her work and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are delivered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People who choose Jemma can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach that respects their experience and preferences. The emphasis is on practical steps and honest conversation to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Jemma lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Jemma draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people notice and challenge patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood, then replace them with more balanced perspectives that feel manageable in daily life. This suits worries, stress and mood difficulties.

A second approach concentrates on understanding relationships and attachment-style patterns. It helps people see how past relationships affect current trust, boundaries and communication, and supports new ways of relating that reduce isolation and conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jemma will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. The aim is to choose practical steps that feel achievable and relevant to day-to-day life.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while keeping continuity between sessions.
