About Jemma
Jemma Brett is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, life changes, parenting challenges and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with isolation, communication problems and questions about life purpose.
Jemma takes a down-to-earth approach in sessions. She combines professional training and personal experience to offer straightforward, human conversation. Sessions are practical and focused on what helps someone feel steadier day to day.
She pays attention to how neurodivergence affects everyday life and decision-making. That means she helps people identify ways of managing sensory load, routines and expectations that fit how they actually live. Parents and caregivers can bring in the specific stresses of caring roles and relationships.
In conversation she attends to attachment patterns, guilt and control issues that often underlie repeated conflicts or stuckness. She talks through communication strategies and steps for coping with separation or divorce without using technical jargon.
Jemma supports people exploring their sense of direction after work, relationship or health changes. Sessions aim to clarify practical next steps, test ideas and adjust approaches as life shifts. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels workable for each person.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Jemma works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test alternative thoughts in everyday situations. This approach supports those with anxiety, low mood and worry by breaking problems into small, testable steps.Another useful technique involves looking at attachment and communication patterns. Sessions examine how past relationship patterns show up now and practise clearer ways of asking for needs and setting boundaries. This can help with repeated conflict, loneliness and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different techniques with each person and decide collaboratively which to try first based on needs, goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as things change rather than fixed in advance.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from their own chosen room or who need less visual focus during a session.
